Argh! I hate mine! It's so fucked up and slow! Sux!

there's only four seasons
and this one's almost gone
these nights feel so good
but this one's almost gone

I like my computer at college, but at home my mom has an iMAC from around 1934.  It's such a pice of junk!  I'm not bashin all you fine MAC people, I'm sure there are reliable computers out there somewhere.... as for me I will remain a PC person and let my comp shake what Hewlitt-Packard gave her.

I used to hate my Windows ME box. Then I installed 98 and 2000. Everything was right in the world again.

I used to hate my Mac Classic because it was too slow for 7.1 Throw in 6.0.8 and all is well.

Seriously, most frustration with computers is due to a power of the computer/overhead of the os mismatch, or you have a lousy OS to begin with.

OSes to avoid: 95, any 98 other than SE, ME, and XP Home Edition.

I quite like mine at the moment. Hasn't gone wrong in a long time :) Chugs a bit though.

the 2nd OS i had was Win 98 i found it good
now i have Windows XP professional  and it works perfectly
XP home is not quite different from the Pro one just less options and settings and admins stuffs but it should work good too.

For now i think XP pro is the best OS for me.

If you want your comp to work well it's easy : just take care of it, i clean coolers and the hardware once a month, make frequent scans ,antivirus scans , defragmentation (i dunno the english word)....etc

I can't do this poll. The "yes" option seems just a bit too geeky, and I'm scared to do the "no" option in case it's watching.

It does its job, you know. And broadband and bluetooth are the bees' bollocks :) It has an annoying habit of crashing after 5 minutes use though... not worked out exactly why but it always does it and after a reset it works fine for days. Weird.

Even better, stick a unix type OS on it and then you don't have to run all those babysitter scans on it ;) It'll just run.

Although, sadly, it won't clean your hardware for you. They should write that into the next kernel version.
