Other Important facts about your computer

MacOS 7.5.3
Modem speed: 28.8k

Hours used per day:

What do you want to get out of your computer? (speed,happiness,user
friendly)
Speed, Flexibility, Use-it-don't-fuck-with-it-all-the-time
What do you have on your hard drive (in general)?
3D Animation, C++ Development, Games, MODs
How do you use your computer?
I generally sit in front of it, and use either the keyboard or mouse,
or both (depending on what I'm doing). Oh, for fun and to make money.
Are you mostly satisfied with your computer?
Yes I am, and thank you for asking. And you?
Would you like to have a Mac or a PC more?
I would rather have a mac. WHich is why I have one. If you'd rather
have a PC, that is probably why you have a PC instead of a Mac. If you
whine and bitch about why I should have your computer instead of mine,
then you obviously use your computer for different things. (Spock: "A
Lie?" Valeris: "A choice.")
Any general comments?
Lastly, Why do you dislike either the MAC or PC?
I'd rather use my computer than configure it all the time, which is why
i use a mac instead of a pc. I get fed up dealing with all the GPF's and
configuration issues, even under win95, at my job, that when i get home, I
like to use a computer instead of messing with it. To date I've not found
anything useful that the PC will do that the mac will not also do. When
that day comes, I will buy Insignia's SoftWindows 95. Until then, i'm
happy with my system. As, I would assume, all of you are happy with yours.
WHich is why you have them. Right? Right? (Barf: "You know, you're right.
And when you're right, you're right. And you, you're always right!")
Now here's my question.
My computer does what I want it to. Your systems (apparantly) do what you
want them to (or else you wouldn't have them). Soooooooo what's with all
the goddamn Linux vs. OS/2 vs. VMS vs. CP/M vs. GEOS vs. GEM vs. ProDOS
vs. AIX vs. Acorn RiscOS vs. MacOS vs. Win95 vs. WinNT vs. MSDOS (well, we
dno't get much MS-DOS advocacy) vs. AmigaOS vs. Commodore Dos vs. Minix
vs. U*IX flavor XYZ vs. NextSTEP vs. BeOS vs. TRSDos vs. Xerox/PARC
etc.?????????????
