Hey... I'm Fluttershy. I saw this site and made an account. I hope you don't mind...

@vt3c It does not look so fat to me...

@vt3c good to know that no matter how much ram I get in future computers they'll always find a way to be slow.

@ceruleanspark has the switch been made then already?
Tuesday, 09-Jul-13 09:09:19 UTC from web-
@pony Yep. It's all me now.

@ceruleanspark 4GB is still more than any of my computers. :P

@pony How can you survive on that :o ... Especially with the price of ram being near equal the price of a new XboX 360 game

@critialcloudkicker You're asking this to a guy who used a single custom built desktop PC for 15 years before switching to 2-year old used PC which has now been in use for about 3 years. I aslo got my mediocre Dell laptop to last 7 years. Why buy electronics and upgrades when I can get them free as gifts?

@pony I can think of a couple of reasons actually. The biggest one being user-comfort due to speed. The second one would be related to PC gaming.

@critialcloudkicker I make do just fine. There are no games I play that require anything beyond what my machines can handle, though LoE would've been nicer with a better graphics card I'm sure. By the time that game comes out in Beta I think I'll have something newer to handle it though. The only program that wouldn't run on my desktop (Bluestacks) was able to run on my newer laptop.

@critialcloudkicker What I'd really like is a computer that can handle livestreaming and recording as i play various games or use art programs.

@ceruleanspark Are we talking 90nm or 65, or 45 ? 32 ? 22 ? I do not think there are any 22 nm dual cores actually

@critialcloudkicker tiny as in "small capacity". It's 3ghz opteron
-
@ceruleanspark Ohh... Wait is "small" the correct adverb ( ? ) then ? ... I am sorry for asking this, I kinda just got out of bed and my "normal human subroutines" have not fully loaded yet
Tuesday, 09-Jul-13 09:14:01 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker Small is acceptable when referring to the capacity of on object.

@vt3c Including shipping ? Howmuch ?

@vt3c Wow. So much free stuff. The first PC I got that I can remember is a 286 portable PC that was hooked to a normal CRT monitor. The monochrome LCD was unusable.

@broniebrown I miss my old amber monochrome screen

@vt3c I wish my friends just gave away hardware. The thriftshop is hit and miss and i'm too lazy/busy to go through the tedium of looking inside and figuring out whether or not it'd be compatible etc.

@vt3c I guess I am unlucky in that perspective that I live in the Netherlands. When people think they can ask money for something they ask too much, and almost noone can ( or is willing to ) haggle... Or they just throw it away... Silly Dutch
Tuesday, 09-Jul-13 09:43:24 UTC from web -
@vt3c ... speechless... I live in a country where a broken laptop can cost over 100€ on ebay...
Tuesday, 09-Jul-13 09:44:59 UTC from Choqok-
@broniebrown I think I just said that... I did not think Germany was just as bad though

@critialcloudkicker Look at it with your own yes http://is.gd/ZbqQ84

@broniebrown no much diffrence here http://www.marktplaats.nl/z/laptop.html?query=laptop¤tPage=2&numberOfResultsPerPage=30 ... except that most of these things do not have the defect or broken prefix

@vt3c exactly. It takes real good luck with that sort of thing. I'd like a new computer, but as I said, I'm really okay. :) If you did find something like that for $30 I'd be happy to accept it. I'm sure that shipping would bump it up to $40 or $50, but I'd still pay you back for that gladly.

@vt3c The description tells that it doesn't turn on, doesn't have an AC adapter, no battery, no HDD.
Tuesday, 09-Jul-13 09:51:10 UTC from Choqok-
@broniebrown What does "defect fur bastler" mean anyway ? ... I mean "broken for ... " what exactly ? I saw it a lot
Tuesday, 09-Jul-13 09:52:06 UTC from web-
@critialcloudkicker "Bastler" is a term for a person who does crafts. A person who likes to tinker with stuff. So in this case a person who likes to repair stuff.

@vt3c It's been a while since I tried to get my old tower to work. Maybe I'll pick you brain some day when I try again.
Tuesday, 09-Jul-13 10:00:49 UTC from web -
@vt3c I can't code that well. I only have moderate programming skills and make a lot of errors.
Tuesday, 09-Jul-13 10:01:28 UTC from Choqok -
@vt3c hmm.. it's pretty heavy. It'd cost less to buy me a nice shiny Raspberry Pi. xD Thanks for the offer though!
