Question-what kind of computer and browser

[lucimPI]

I am just wondering what brands of computers most of us use on here and what browser.
I use a Dell with Firefox and an Apple with their Safari browser but have Firefox dl into it.

We have a Compaq Presario and use IE. I downloaded Firefox once but I couldn't get used to it so I removed it.

I built mine, I have an Alienware tower, with a 2.61 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ processor, 2 gigs of ram, my video card is a nVidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, I have a 500 gig HD. It's duel boot; WinXP on one partition and Vista on the other.

I browse with Firefox.

My desktop is a Dell with XP and Firefox. My new laptop (December '07) is a HP with Vista and Firefox. It took me a while to get accustomed to Vista. My old laptop (a Dell) is on its deathbed, so I had no choice but to upgrade it.

we have 5 computers and 1 laptop here.

ALL of the desktop computers are home built. 4 of the desktops utilize Windows XP Pro, and 1 desktop utilizes a split partition with Linux on the hard drive and Ubunto on the partition...it is this computer that is our home based Server.

The laptop also uses Windows XP Pro and is a Vaio.


for the laptop and computers we have for browsers:

Opera
Mozilla Firefox
Internet Explorer

I recently installed Linux on our server, it's not as bad as I thought it would be, lol!

[atprm]

I cringed when he put Linux on the server... I am used to Ubunto (as quirky as it is).

I am really blown away with some of the systems some of you have built. (Since I am a computor "newbie", I have only been on about 14 years) it just never dawned on me that people actually build their own. I am very impressed. All this time I just thought I was supposed to come on here and play games, do surveys, look for free stuff-you know that kind of stuff. No wonder I do not understand DH when he says things like "spreadsheets" etc, but I do know how to get on mapquest and google and best of all BBF. All I can say to those that really "use" this thing for doing real stuff is :congrats: :wow :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

[SLance68]

I have a Dell with XP and use Firefox unless I am on MSN games then I have to use IE and I use IE under great protest.

[jayhawkfan]
