I have too many computers... last count was four laptops and one desktop (two or three if you count all the disembodied parts lying around the place...)
Gasp.

its not that bad, it's just cause I don't really throw away or sell on much. I've got my first Laptop which is a sub notebook I bought back in '98, my second laptop that I bought from ebay and died about two weeks later, my current laptop and my work laptop. It's hard keeping track of them all though...

You wanna donate one to the "Serenity needs a computer so she can actually get online at home" Fund?
I can hardly ever use the computer at home because my grandfather's always playing on the NASA homepage and my grandmother plays hearts for hours on end.

so the reformat thing, not working out so well. giving me a headache. And work just went from majorly annoying to "let me show those postal workers how it's done." Ready to quit but, not ready to be without a job. plus need to get computer back to fully functional.
For those who know more about reformatting, when I reinstall the basic OS and that's just about all that's there, the registry is fresh too right? no old registry info should be there, right?

Jadehand:
Yep, once you've reformatted none of your old data, including the registry, will still be on the drive. Whats the problem?
CMS:
Yeah I know, too generous for my own good...
Unfortunatly any of the machines I don't actually use, and that I could give you, you really wouldn't want anyway, cause they're not even worth giving away, let alone selling...

And plus, they wouldn't work with my Republican 0.06a OS anyway, right?

Seryn, again too lazy to sign in.
my shiny new iBook fund got pushed to the back this year.
It was a case of saving up to get one, and before i'd even been at it a month something else much more fun came up (Atlants! whoot!). So thats next years project.
Old bertie here is coming up for four years old and i'm beginning to get paranoid that each hiccup is the beginning of the end.
While we have a boffin in our midst though, are macs good computers? I was aiming for one mainly 'cause they were the ones used in college and I heared ta rumor that there was some kind of CAD/pattern drafting software available.
Plus they is pretty and oh so shiny.
But what are they like generally? reliable? Idiot proof?

Well the boffins not replying so I will.
I've not really used Macs, mainly because IBMs have all the software I use and I'm used to them...
Mac's at least seem quite easy to use, I also know that they are more robust than IBMs under most circumstances plus people don't really write Viruses or Spyware for them.
Depends what you want, if you're not going to pass files between it and windows much, and you don't play too many games then it's probably a good bet.
I want to get a Mac at some point, mainly to test code and websites I'm working on, but I can't really justify the expense for a computer I'm not really going to use (says the man-geek with five+ computers)...
Oh and I just bought my ticket for D*C, finally got paypal sorted so that it would let me pay
