    current custom built 'Puter is getting old at almost 4 years old, with some upgrades. i am building a custom one with all parts bieng purchased from www.Newegg.com . i also, refuse to buy some prebuilt computer and i strongly dislike Dell. Windows XP has enough crap i have to hunt down and turn off as it is.( custom stripped install) ref: ( www.blkviper.com)
    Dell and America Online are even worse. i will never EVER use either again. even if if they were free. :( :) :(

    Desktop. Compaq. Old as dirt. Celeron 500. Still runs on same HD (no reformat) since 1999. Never use it since it's soooo slooooowwwwwwww.

    Compaq laptop. POS. Athlon XP 1500, slow, ugly, unreliable, battery now lasts 30 mins ... pretty yuck, actually.

    Toshiba laptop. Satellite 5200. Awesome. Screen is the most beautiful ever. Super fast. NVidia graphic card, enough for big engineering projects, DVD burner (yup, in a laptop). Integrated wireless, battery lasts 2:30 hours. Just love the puter. It's big and heavy though.

    Well, I was for a while, but my upgraded 64K chip died, and then my tape drive crapped out, and I had a hard time finding a black and white TV to hook it to, so...

    I plugged my Apple IIC in, and away I went!!!

    But not until I finished playing Karoteka, the finest game ever produced!

    UPS is now using Dell for its shipping systems. We get two from them, every couple of years. They recently switched from Compaq to Dell, tied it together with a nice shipping contract, too, I'd bet.

    Exclusive shipper for Dell, exclusive computer for UPS. There may be other systems available, but my rep definately poshed the Dell stuff.

    Oh, and I'm using an Inspiron 8150 laptop at home, from Dell.
