Hello!
Here's again something for small-talk. Everyone in the forum has some kind of computer experience and favours, what are yours? List some computers and OS's with a little description, so that it fits in one line. I'll start. 1st computer experience: Commodore VC-20, 1987 1st own computer: Commodore 64, 1989 Most liked computers: 1. C64. I have extremly high respect for this computer. No other machine has so much flexibility in hardware and programming - with less then 1 MHz. 2. Hackintosh - It's like a Mac, but's much more fun to get it running. Anyone who saw the finder after the first working installation knows what I mean. 3. Amiga. A great computer for old-school games, but outdated for actual use. Let's see what OS4 brings. Favourite operating systems: 1. MacOS X. It's the best operating system you can get these days. 2. GEOS 64/128 - because it's extremely well programmed - an graphical OS in the style of MacOS Classic in just 23 Kbytes. 3. AmigaOS - The genial multitasking and the perfect integration of the powerful AmigaDOS plus ARexx is unbeatable. 4. C64 Basic V2 - because its minimalism. You must have rather good knowlege of the computer before you can use it for real purposes. These were mine, now it's your turn. 2 Opteron systems: OSx86 10.5.8, Andy's 9.8.0 kernel, Asus A8N-SLI Premium, Opteron 185 o'clocked @ 2 x 2,95 GHz (2nd system 2.6 GHz), ATI Radeon HD2600XT 256MB Dual-Monitor 2x HP L2035, 4 GB RAM, Griffin FireWave as main audio device, Marvell + nForce LAN, Asus U3S6 USB3/SATA6 card, 5,5 TB harddisk, Firewire 800 card, Apple Remote + eHome IR receiver, 2x Wacom serial graphics tablet, Canon Pixma iP4700, Logitech Internet Navigator wireless keyboard/mouse combination.
