Computers

Over time I run out of resources on my current computer, so I am forced to get another. Having said that, this is a list of all of my computers with my first one on top. This should be an excellent read...

Junkyard
I don't have a screen cap of this one because I was too unexperienced with a computer to get one. Needless to say, the desktop looked like crap and it used to clouds background in a streched form. The Plus! theme that I used was the jungle one, which didn't go to well with the background.
Processor: 233 mHz Pentium 1/2 (lol, actually it was a Pentium 1)
DOP: ?
OS: Windows 98
Monitor: 13" CRT
Modem: 14.4 (I'm not exaggerating)
RAM: 16 MB
Harddrive: Don't remember
Current Status: Somewhere in a junkyard

The It
The It was my first step into getting a nice computer. I loved this computer because it was such a nice jump from Junkyard to something modern. I travelled the Internet at 56 K, but half way through its life I got a cable modem (thanks, Mom!), and that was bliss. I kept my desktop more in shape as you can see, and I made sure that this computer was well cared for. I downloaded so many MP3s on this computer, and I hope that I will never lose them. My OS caused this computer to die.
DOP: ?
Processor: 1.1 gHz AMD Athlon
OS: Windows ME (ACK!)
Monitor: 17" flat screen (big CRT guy, but the glass is flat)
Modem: 56.6
RAM: 256 MB
Harddrive: 60 GB
Current Status: Dead. Spare parts.

Toshiba I
During my freshman year in high school, my grandfather wanted to spend more time with me, so he bought me a Toshiba laptop so that I could do all my stuff over at his house. It didn't have wireless networking equipment, which I had to add, but this guy NEVER gave me ANY problems whatsoever.
DOP: ?
Processor: Pentium 4 (1.5 gHz, I think?)
OS: Windows XP Home Edition
Monitor: 14" display
RAM: 256 MB
Harddrive: 20 GB
Current Status: Dead, I presume

The It²
A day after The It died I was able to purchase The It². This computer is nicer than The It because it held Windows XP, and I got all kinds of extras with it. Since I was able to hook up my new speaker system, new keyboard, and 4 in 1 office jet, this computer was a dream.
DOP: ?
Processor: 1.54 gHz AMD Athlon XP 1800+
OS: Windows XP Home Edition
Monitor: 15" flat panel
Modem: 56.6 (later moved to a high-speed cable)
RAM: 256 MB
Harddrive: 20 GB
Current Status: Dead

   
Hades
Purchased solely as an upgrade (meaning that the previous computer's death did not spark this purchase), this computer is a DREAM come true. Obviously this computer is a significant change, but it didn't feel any different since it had the same OS, and I transferred my files quickly. The speakers, printer, mouse, and stuff remained the same, but I did purchase a new ergo keyboard the same day that I got this.
DOP: 05/16/05
Processor: Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz
OS: Windows XP Home Edition
Monitor: 23" flat panel (first there was a 15" flat planel that got changed to a 19" on 8/6/06 and then to the 23" on 6/12/09)
Modem: High-speed cable
RAM: 1.5 GB
Harddrive: 200 GB
Current Status: Alive and kicking

   
Venus
My 2007 taxes came back with an awesomely ridiculous amount, so I spent some of that on buying my second Toshiba laptop. Since Brett bought the first one, I also used that money to help me out. When I first went to the store, I had a Compaq in mind since it came in a bundle, but that computer was ass-nasty looking, and the bundle sucked. So I went back and looked, and I found this beauty.
DOP: 3/30/08
Processor: 2.0 gHz AMD Turion 64 X2
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium
Monitor: 15.4" Display
RAM: 2 GB
Harddrive: 160 GB
Current Status: Alive and beautiful
