I still have my original computer from 1992. Heck, I even still have the box it came in! A Packard Bell 386 20 mhz, with 2 MB of RAM.
That was also my first computer ! [/quote] I've still got my two previous computers here in my office, and they both still run (albeit slowly). The oldest is a HP Pavilion 6645C with a lovely Celeron 667 mhz processor, and about 1/2 gig of RAM; 1997 vintage. The other is a Dell. 2.0 Mhz, 300 gig HD, GeForce 6600 Graphics card, 1 Gig RAM. It's about 2001 vintage, but it upgraded well and ran pretty good until it got a little shaky back in 2007. Not a bad $700 investment.

Got 2 of the critters. Home one is a home built using an ASUS board with a 3 GHz P4 and 4 GB of RAM 1/2 a terabyte of hard disk space and unfortunately I'm using XP.
Work one is an Acer with a 3.6 GHz P4, 4 GB of RAM, 360 GB of hard disk and running Ubuntu Linux. Tres Cool!!!

I have two machines in regular use, a desktop and a laptop.
The laptop is a Thinkpad T41. It has a Pentium M process at 1.6ghz, 1gbyte memory, 60gbyte hard disk, running Win XP. Built in network, wireless, modem, 2 card slots, Radeon 7500. It's a pretty nice machine to hold, sturdy, thin, and very stiff. It replaced an Inspiron 3800, which was a 700mhz Pentium 3. I had repaired the Inspiron unit with a new keyboard and new screen hinge, and then the mouse and cooling plant were failing too. It was to the point of costing more to buy parts than to just buy a new laptop, even though realistically that old P3 was serving my mobile needs completely. I got the T41 used and with customer upgrades at a good price.
The desktop machine I just upgraded in autumn of last year, home grown from new parts. It's built around a Pentium Core2 Duo E8400 (3ghz). It has 4gbytes of memory, 500gbytes of disk, and a Geforce 9600, all running under Vista 64bit edition. I wish now that I had waited just a little longer and got on the i7 bandwagon, since the E8400 is the best processor that will work on the motherboard I've got. It's nice to have an upgrade path in mind. My motherboard and power supply are both branded to support SLI, so when 9600's get cheap as dirt that's one thing I'll do.

13" 2.4G Core Duo Powerbook (late 2008 model).
I'm surprised by the number of Mac users. Even more surprised by the number of Linux users.
