What OS do you use?

I am using a quad processor Windows XP 64-bit system.

 

I am the most primitive .. ..Windows 98SE.

 

Your GF?? When did this happen?

You got any pictures of the wee lass for your DP pals to see?

 

Hehe - no

Maybe sometime in the next few months

 

Tricky Question:

My House:

Webserver: Mandrake 10.1
Work Machine: Windows XP
File Server: Windows 2000 Server

 

Anybody with XP tablet?

I have:

XP Home
XP Pro
XP Tablet
98SE

Yeah, waiting for Linux to be a reasonable option for an illiterate as me...

 

When did you get a GF though? How did it happen?

 

What's that like - How good is the handwriting recognition?

About a Month ago...

Erm, you know.. We met - chatted - blah blah etc...

 

Did you start talking to her on the net?

lol are you embarrassed?

 

...Get's ready to leave the forum.

They say that over 95% of the people in the world whom own a computer, run on Windows. So, I'm rather impressed with the people on this forum.

In my Family, we currently have 2 Windows, a Mac and a SUSE linux.

 

No and No - We met through work... It's still early days.

 

lol ok

I'll stop pestering you about it now! But we want to see pictures

 

SEbasic, to be honest, I don't use it as a tablet, except when I'm walking down the streets and looking for an open wifi network (very rarely actually but great fun)

Why a tablet? Because I said it was cute when I was looking into replacing the laptop that was stolen from me. My GF, that's lightning fast at making decisions when shopping, unlike me, and bought it for me before I could make up my mind. I never said that I was just curious.

Anyway, I did try hand recognition at the beginning, I think it wasn't that bad, but I'll try again in the next few days when in the US I can't work and I'll have more time for that. I'll let you know.

BTW, it's a Toshiba M200 Portege.

 

Thanks - I'll maybe pics some point soon.

Yeah do - I'd love to get one myself if it worked well... Thanks

 

Coincidentally, I saw this device called an Acecad DigiMemo (see below) in a local store a couple of days ago. It lets you take notes on a special pad and transfer them to a computer. Very light and costs about $100 - much cheaper than a tablet computer. You write on paper that's placed on their tablet with a special pen.

I am on win2k , the second machine and laptop are on xp pro corporate edition, the spare machine that my 6 year old uses for web access and playing games is on win 98se .

 

Woooow! I know it's the adolescent in me speaking but I wanna hear the specs...

 

Bloody Anoraks

 

That's a pretty funky idea - thanks for the links...

I wonder how good those things work...

There is still something very inviting about the concept of a screen you carry around with you and can watch movies on etc...

Some of those tablet PC's seem pretty cheap these days too...

Mac first - then Maybe another MS machine I think

 

You guys are going to hate me, so sorry if I bring up the subject in public, but I have to.

For the post above I got the weirdest red rep.
Anonymous of course. But with a comment:

So a Bill Gates fan I suppose, as if he stole the money or gives you no other choice for the OS. Or was it godd old Linus T. himself?

Anyway, no big deal, only I wonder if any others got the same, and I would like to promise a green rep to that same guy if he says who he is and why he did it, just for pure curiosity...

I can only afford Windows for the time being...
