In other news:

I've been back to work after summer for two weeks. Those two weeks have had the best weather all summer. Tomorrow I'm going to Jotunheimen for six days of mountain hiking. The forecast says that we can expect torrential rain tomorrow.

Heavy rain here all day.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

We're having a couple cool, cloudy days in the 60's(F.), but we have some nice warm days before fall to look forward to.

Curious...do people here use a stationary computer or laptop at home?

 

[Forostar]

Stationary

 

[Night Prowler]

Laptop. Desktops take way too much space, would rather buy a weaker laptop than deal with all the cables and assorted desktop crap.

 

[Brigantium]

Both. My laptop belongs to work, but I end up using it a lot at home because I'm often finishing bits of work off after hours. I do like my own PC, though, plus that's what has all the music on it.

 

[Forostar]

My PC starts up within 3 seconds.

 

[Saapanael]

Good for you, mine takes it slow and steady.

I'm using a desktop obviously, I'm not a laptop peasant.

I use a laptop at home and a crappy Sunray terminal at work that connects to the Unix servers:

Not if you have an all in one like with our iMac.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

My PC starts up within 3 seconds.

Is that going from sleep or completely shut down? There's no way a completely shut down computer is completely booted up in 3 seconds.

I don't like Apple products though.

Well, if you're heavy gamer, they're definitely not for you, but after hours and hours of headaches from all the spyware and virus crap we put up with, it sure nice to be going on 8 years of being free of all of that stuff.

 

[Night Prowler]

I've had my own computer since 2005 approximately and I only had one big virus problem in these 10 years, and that was when I shared it with my mom. In the last 5 years I've been the only one using it and had zero virus problems.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

That's good that you haven't had any virus problems, but if you had gone through all of what we did, you might like Apple better. It's too bad that Windows users still love to hate on them. I just don't get why.

 

[Wästed The Great]

I have a pc with a 1TB HDD for the C : and a 2TB for the D: (music and movies). It's basically my file server and its hooked up to my tv. But I prefer my laptop because I can sit anywhere in the house to use it and I can still access all my junk on the PC.

Other than watching movies or listening to music (or surfing this site) I hate to touch a PC at home since I'm eyeball deep in the damn things day in and day out.

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Laptop. Macbook Pro, here.

 

[Night Prowler]

I don't hate Apple... I tried a few of their devices and I just don't like the interface at all. And they are way more expensive here.

 

[Wästed The Great]

I have a MacBook. Under my bed. Unplugged and unused in a year. To be fair, it worked fine, but the backlight is dying and the system fan failed on it, so its of little use to me :/

I like Windows because I'm used to the interface and used to the file sharing and I seem to have a million .exe's that I run.....

And for work I got a Surface Pro 3 which I love dearly
