W95,<br>133MHz with turbo on,<br>can't view GIFs or JPGs in IE,<br>can't install IE6 due to OS,<br>can hardly do any 3D games,<br>2.5GB on drive C,<br>another 4GB with an added hard drive,<br>MIDI sound font has only one instrument which isn't even remotley near an 'instrument,'<br>takes its time with things,<br>can do 3D stuff but any 3D game made after 2000 would crash it.<br><br>But, it's fully customized to me, all the stuff on it probably can't be transfered to a new computer and I've had it for 8 years of my life (I'm 14) so it's got too much sentimental value for me to replace it.<br><br>If I had to replace it I'd keep it in my bedroom and eventually forget about it until I recover it again.<br>And that will change me most likely.<br><br>It's fun to tinker with your personality.<br>But stupid sub-conciousness makes it harder.

I'm posting this on a 2.2GHz P4, but I get more use out of my 550MHZ TiBook. I do not wish to describe my various always-on systems. However, note that I am just that geeky.
