Silly, but important question!

How's your computer today?

Man...
my computer is disgusting!

- Keyboard completely dirty
- my mouse doesn't work right anymore
- my dualshock joystic is destroyed
- LCD monitor sneezed

And HD??? ... AND MY HD MAN????

I have at least 5000000 music folders and most of them with the same musics...
more 5000000 movie folders...
more 10000000 game folders since atari games to play2 games and I have a playstation 2.

In other words:
a 120Gb HD with 112Gb completed with trash.

And you???

How's your computer today?

How's your computer today?

- Muted. My motherboard's southbridge is broken and it doesn't like my soundcard anymore. So I'm forced to listen to music through my laptop.

- I've bought a Gigabyte motherboard on eBay. Just 19 euros, shipping included. eBay rocks.

- I'm still waiting for it. Spanish postal service sucks.

- Last time someone sent me a Windows virus was in June 2007. This is so frustrating. My virus collection is completely dead. I must be happy with just one MSN phishing attempt, every three months. The rest is spam, spam, spam...

- It would be a good idea to install a Windows machine, without firewall, all ports opened. Just one Outlook contact: me. At least, I would send viruses to myself.

- I installed KDE 4.1 in my laptop. My god. I switched back to 3.5 after just seven days.

- I've bought some 5.1 speakers on a grocery (!!). Completely new, just 12 euros. Probably they mixed up the printed price. But now they are mine, huh huh... they sound great.

- By the way, I don't have any 5.1 soundcard. And no DVDs or games that use that feature. But I don't care.

Normally, I don't watch movies on my CPU, despite I have millionf of in it.
I just record them in a DVD media and watch it on play2. The play2 has more audio channels than the CPU or DVD player and I have a 7.2 professional Denon receiver on my sound room at my house. It's better!

But mced ...
I'm using VGA antivirus. Is this good?

VGA = AVG?

The best antivirus is the user.

My desktop PC: It has Vista, now, but probably not for long. I'm in the works of buying new parts, almost new everything. If I buy the right parts, I'll have a OSx86 and XP dualbooted.

My laptop PC: I tried to OSx86 it. I split the HDD in 2, installation went smoothly but on first restart attempt I get stuck on the grey Apple screen and the spinning indicator just freezes, no HDD activity. I did a "-v" boot and the last line said something about the battery power. I didn't feel like scouring the internet to fix it, wasn't worth the pain or time. I'll just buy a bloody Macbook Pro.

I then formatted the 2nd partition but forgot that the OSx86 installed the boot chameleon so I got a "boot0: error".. f*** me. Using GParted, at first the 1st partition wasn't flagged as "boot", I forgot what else happened but thing was that I lost my Vista Recovery disc I made so I couldn't restore the vista bootloader. Instead, I grabbed the Ubuntu CD and installed it on the 2nd partition. Doing that, it added GRUB, so now I can boot to either OS.

I ordered new recovery disc from HP, cost me 16 dollars. For the life of me I can't find those disc but when I do I'm going to make at least 5 more sets of copies and store them in strategic places around the apartment so this never happens again. I'm not sure if I will be able to make copies off the ones that will be arriving.

I don't plan on keeping Ubuntu, I want to try the new Fedora but haven't downloaded the ISO yet. I think I may always keep that 100GB 2nd partition for trying different Linux Flavours.

My laptop's HDD is 250GB but I plan to put in a much bigger one, as big as it can go. I'm insane.

My powerbook: It's basically on life support. Still use it, just slow as hell.
