hmm lets see I guess I'm getting use to the laptop. I prefer the desktop PC's though because they are easier to upgrade. But like I said I'm not a hardware nut. My buddy use to take care of all that stuff, but alas he moved several thousand miles away. Anyways he was the hardware geek, and he would every year and 1/2 go out and slap a machine together for me. So I haven't really shopped/bought on since the mid 90's.

Right now what is functioanl is lets see: a dell laptop (mid-high end) a dell desktop (high-end) and a mid-level no-name pc that I use for development test/play purposes.

I mainly just use PC's to play games surf or write code....home pc's are the game playing ones. work pc's all that is needed is a large/fast harddrive and lots o ram. But I'm sure there are plenty of super geeks that have their machines tricked out more than I do

Got plenty of various hardware parts in boxes from over the years...really should get rid of that stuff...
