I use a Mac, and my othr half uses a PC my son built for her. Lots of bells and whistles, and it seems to work - though it doesn't like to be dusty and hot, so I've had to underclock it (my son would have me investing in some daft watercooled heat-sink, but he's a complete gadget freak). The Mac, meanwhile, chugs on...

Athlon XP1600, 256Mb, 80Gb, Abit KG7, Mandrake 10.1. Was a duron 800 until a mate upgraded. Runs ok, can't remember the last crash. All homebrew, evolves slowly.

Toshiba 390CDT PII 233? I think. Just for light web browsing and letters and stuff. Works just fine. I do get a bit starry eyed when I see new laptops for �500-�600 but still can't really justify buying one............yet.

Asus laptop with 512mb memory as I do a fair bit with graphics. Has a Celeron 'M' processor for low power consumption, partly because I'm not on mains electricity. Use it for the web, email, letters (rare these days) and my website, and one day to write a book.

Don't really know anymore, it's been upgraded so much. 2 gig processor, 256 memory although I think it might have a stick of something else plugged in there too. I only have a 20gb harddrive though so that is the next thing to go.

I also have an old PII laptop with 64MB memory, but it is much too slow to use looking at this site, for example. The disk is also full with all sorts, but if I clean it all off and only install a few apps it may come back to life.
