I'm mostly happy with my Thinkpad from 2003 Floffe Send a noteboard - 22/01/2010 12:58:12 PM
upgraded to 512MB RAM and 80GB HDD, and a 1.4GHz Pentium M. Bought it used for $350 two years ago. The one thing that bugs me about it is the 1024x768 14.1" screen, I want a higher resolution to fit more stuff on there. Plus I'd like to be able to play massive OpenTTD games on there (open source clone of Transport Tycoon of 90's fame, some online coop games have rail networks with well over a thousand trains which stresses the CPU quite a bit), but I can use the desktop for that.

Oh, multiplayer? Several people on one company? Interesting. Legolas - 22/01/2010 07:03:58 PM 636 Views
The point then lies more in designing and implementing Floffe - 22/01/2010 09:18:41 PM 545 Views

People also pay $100 for jeans with holes in them random thoughts - 22/01/2010 02:21:00 PM 628 Views
I'm thinking about buying $5 jeans and putting holes in them. Kuke - 22/01/2010 02:26:42 PM 609 Views
Yup, I bought a netbook and it's better than any amount of money I could have spent on a laptop. *NM* BlackAdder - 22/01/2010 02:27:45 PM 435 Views
I honestly don't care for netbooks. Aemon - 22/01/2010 04:18:41 PM 674 Views
I like the 12 inch laptops quite well. Very portable, very nice. Bryce - 23/01/2010 08:54:54 AM 698 Views

You sound like you know what you're doing, so I'll make this an honest question. Aemon - 22/01/2010 04:38:33 PM 710 Views

Mine are portable design machines, so my aging Powerbook will likely be replaced by a Macbook Pro. *NM* Zalis - 22/01/2010 06:41:26 PM 265 Views

I really prefer desktops in nearly every situation. jh - 22/01/2010 08:37:05 PM 635 Views
I do too, but laptops are still useful. Aemon - 22/01/2010 09:29:04 PM 643 Views
Well, if you want to play games, it's fairly necessary. Ghavrel - 23/01/2010 02:31:10 AM 619 Views
I've actually gone that route for. . .hm, about 5 years of college now. Aemon - 23/01/2010 03:38:12 AM 783 Views
where can I find such desktops? TheCrownless - 23/01/2010 03:05:02 PM 571 Views
It would be fine while in the room. But I go to college in Boston and live in Louisiana. Ghavrel - 23/01/2010 08:22:35 PM 735 Views
