My abacus is an Acer Aspire 1700. Pentium 4 2.66GHz with 189 MB of available RAM,the rest is graphics dedicated, although its dedication to the cause is somewhat questionable.

To describe it as an old machine would be an understatement of epic proportions. It even has a 3.5 inch floppy ( there's a joke in there somewhere,but I just don't seem to be able to rise to the occassion)

I am currently saving my pennies to buy a new machine. My theory is that of I buy something at the top end it will still meet my needs into the future. But like many a good theory it will probably prove to be completely wrong.

BTW...I do have a 2 inch penis......in a jar of formaldehyde. It's former owner was the last person who made fun of my computer. You have been warned.

In all honesty - and this is big coming from me, an IT consultant - computers are computers. some oldies work the best. When I buy a top end computer, what I expect is something which is more or less, top. I expect durability, technology and, well anything that would differentiate itself from the lesser models. Coming back to my earlier remark; Computers are computers. At the end of the day it will do the same thing as any other computer will do. If I were you i'd wait until Acer or whatever brand you prefer bring out a new model with the latest features and graphics cards, cpu, motherboard (whatever..) and "splash" your money on it.

I envy your post, I really do. Very modest in your answers I commend you for that one my friend!

You're a good joker, maybe you should be a comedian with jokes in the theme of sex Lots'a laughs
