What are you running?

Remove all ads!

I'm just curious. I used to sell PCs. I don't any longer. There's no income in this business for the moment). Although I also post on a tech website, I was still wondering what everyone on SP is running. If you would, post if it is a store, or internet bought computer and who's the builder. Or if you are savvy enough to have built it yourself. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with store bought computers (I used to sell them). It's just that the software is usually highly proprietary, with a lot of shareware stuff installed. Or if you feel like it, just talk tech on this thread (AMD Vs. Intel) or whatever.
I'll go first:

For Printing I use an HP 960C Printer and a Lexmark Laser (for just text). (Can you tell I really miss working with the technology?)
Most used apps include MS Office XP, MusicMatch and MS Digital Image PRO 7.0

For games I am currently in the middle of BGII, for what must be the tenth time.
