Computers you own.

[Kyo-Chan]

Yeah, I think that'd work great.  ^__^

Go forth and conquer, Dancing Banana-san.  -v-

I'm geting a scanner on tuesday, now I can finish feathru-tan and put it up on the wiki!

[Kami-Tux]

Okay: my PCs:

Jenjitux:
Brand: from a local company from Leverkusen
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
RAM: 512 MB
Harddisks: 300 GB + 60 GB
Operating systems: Gentoo Linux 2006.1 + FreeDOS (it hid in a Fat16 partition on the smaller harddisk)

Smalltux/Slowtux:
Brand: x86
Processor: AMD K6-II 450 MHz
RAM: 128 MB
Harddisk: 10 GB
Operating Systems: SuSE Linux + Debian/GNU/HURD + whatever live CD I use on it (it is for my OS-testing purposes)

Francesco:
Brand: Schneider
Processor: let's not get into that. I know it is from Intel and has 4.77MHz
RAM: enough for everybody (640kB)
Harddisk: 30MB
Operating System: MS DOS 5.2

Hoh... I'm surprised you haven't tried FreeDOS on Scheider.  ^__^

(Or maybe you did and it didn't go so well?  '__')

[Kami-Tux]

I have no computer which can read or write Francesco's floppies... (these big Double Density floppies)

[Bella]

Just my trusty eMachines laptop, Shadow K8 Running XP home, and virtualizing Ubuntu and Puppy Linux.

She runs well, I value her stability and speed and I will quite literally keep using this machine until it wears out. My family has an HP laptop, too...

[Zalian]

I personally own two computers.

The first is the one I use primarily, and is a custom powerhouse running XP Pro. It's in a an old white steel-frame case with the AMD logo which could probably take down a wall if thrown. Processor is a Pentium 4. It's got great memory, a great graphics card, and great stability, but it heats up my room a lot, especially when I'm playing graphic-intensive games. I still haven't come up with a name for it, so I guess I'll just call it "My XP-tan" for now.

The second is pretty much a mystery system that I custom built about 4 or 5 years back. I call it a mystery system because I can't remember what specs it has, but I do know that it's running Windows 98 and a couple of Linuces that I can't recall the names of. I haven't started it up in several months, so I suppose I should boot it up soon...

[C-Chan]

Yeah, yeah, boot it up man!  ^___^

We're just receiving the first trickle of next-gen Linuces (Ubuntu 7.10, Mandriva 2008, OpenSUSE 2.30, Puppy 3.0, etc.), and believe me they'll offer quite a bit more than perhaps they did when you first installed them.  ^.^

(try to get a distro lthat has a user-friendly hardware detector [like PCLinuxOS], so you can see exactly what's installed in your machine)  ^.^

[thesonicsword]

I only have an insgnia ^^;

[NejinOniwa]

An insg-what?

I have a fairly new Dell Inspiron 1525, originally it had Vista but I reloaded it with XP a few days ago. Vis-tan certainly is nice and very eye-catching, but her personality has a few issues and she doesn't play nice with others. XP-tan though is much better behaved once she gets used to a particular build.

I also have a Nexlink KN1 Laptop, it is a somewhat oddball unit that was supposidly custom-made for the college I was in at the time. Though I see that Nexlink has gone on to make a lot more, and might even be appearing at Bestbuy soon.

For desktops, every single one of mine is custom-built by yours truely. My big one is a Pentium 4 HT 3.4 GHz, recently upgraded to 2GB DDR333 RAM and a 250GB hard drive. It is currently housed in the last remains of an old Hewlett Packard for lack of a better case that had sufficient room for it.

Beyond that, the rest are Frankenstein systems built out of salvaged and recycled parts that I haggle for from time to time. I think there were around 4 of those.

Oh and my classics.

I have an original Apple IIE that is still in working order, complete with it's ROM BASIC still intact. Wonder what -tan that would have... all it has for an OS is it's ROM Assembley and ROM BASIC.

Also my first really workable PC, a Hewlett Packard Vectra VE model 5 with a 233 MHz Pentium MMX CPU, originally it had 32MB ram, Windows 95, and a 2GB hard drive. Though I soon upgraded it to 98-tan and it had a brief flirtation with ME-tan and XP-tan, it spent most of it's useful life with 2k.

By the time I retired it, I had driven it all the way up to 384MB ram, and a 40GB hard drive, running Windows 2000 Server. Which they tell me was not possible for that machine, but it ran it and did well.

[Aurora Borealis]

^I envy that you have a working Apple IIe, and that you can build your own computers! But really, that's awesome!

[Odin Yggdrasil]

There is also a Tandy TRS80 color that I have as well, though I've yet to try powering it up.

I still like the old 80386 SX units that I had my first encouters with DOS on, and oddly enough I found that several of the machine readout systems where I work actually still use 80386 DX chips with a variety of DOS as their operating system for controlling the milling machines.

[C-Chan]

I agree with the vintage coolness factor -- modern systems are so plentiful nowadays, I only really find vintage hardware interesting.  Â¬v¬

BTW, there is a ][-tan and a TRSDOS-tan (the old OS for the first Tandy computers), in addition to a CoCo-tan (the Tandy Color Computer).

Again, call it Gallery deprivation.  Â¬Â¬

[Aurora Borealis]

I am also much more strongly interested in vintage computers than modern ones. Sadly, I don't have any vintage hardware

[C-Chan]

Fufufu... well some might consider an iBook running Panther vintage by now... fufufu..... ^>^

BTW, they didn't make you get rid of that, I hope.  ^^;
