What computer(s) are you using? What OS? What makes your `puter so kewl? Are you tired of my silly slang? (i.e. `puter and kewl)

Please tell me about your altar of technology.

I realize I am probably not the first one to post this question... Please feel free to inform me of this fact!

Other computers in my room:
- HP Vectra XU 5/90C - Main server running Linux Mandrake 6.1 (NFS, email, web, ftp, mySQL, internet sharing). It's a dual P90 workstation with 56MB RAM and 3GB of SCSI storage.

- DEC MicroVAX 3100/80 - No assigned function as yet, just sits around. Running NetBSD 1.5. Has 40MB RAM, ~4GB storage, and a rather slow processor.

- Sun SPARCstation LX - latest toy, no ssigned function. Dual boots Sun Solaris 2.5.1 and Debian GNU/linux 2.2r3. 50 MHz processor, 24MB RAM, 2GB HD, 20" Trinitron display. Picked up the whole package at the September MIT Flea Market for $100 (same as my TI-83+ calculator cost).

- Compaq Deskpro EN - testing server, has hard drives for Win98, Linux Mandrake 8.0, Apple Darwin. PIII-450, 96MB RAM, 6GB storage.

- Quantex PC clone - personal workstation/MP3 server running Linux Mandrake 7.1. P200 processor, 128MB RAM, 8GB storage.

- VTech Expo - Novell Netware 4.11 server, comes in handy now and then. 486/SX-25 processor, 20MB RAM, 200MB HD.

- Digital Venturis 575 - MP3 player in progress (won't be useful till I find/write some software for it). Running RedHat Linux 5.2. P75 processor, 24MB RAM, 4GB storage.

- Compaq LTE 5380 - previous laptop (replaced by the Armada), still used for occasional web browsing. Running Linux Mandrake 6.1. P133 processor, 48MB RAM, 2GB HD, 12.1" LCD. This system currently has the household uptime record of 165 days (and still going strong).

Other computers in the house:
- Homebrew clone - Family workstation for word processing, web browsing, etc. Triple-boots Linux Mandrake 8.0, Windows 2000 Professional, and NT Server 4.0. PIII-500, 448MB RAM, 36GB storage, Plextor 8x burner, DVD, 21" monitor.

- Dell Optiplex GMT-5133 - workstation, running Windows NT Workstation 4.0. P133, 32MB RAM, 1GB HD.

- Dell Optiplex GMT-5133 - workstation, running Linux Mandrake 6.1. P133, 80MB RAM, 1.3GB storage.

- Dell Inspiron 5000e - very nice laptop, but not mine (yet.. ;-). Dual boots Linux Mandrake 8.0, Windows 98. PIII-750, 128MB RAM, 10GB HD, 15" LCD, DVD.

- Rackmounted clone PC - scheduled to become the new main server when cable internet service arrives, already loaded up with Linux Mandrake 8.1. PII-300, 64MB RAM, 3GB HD.

- IBM 9577 - has no function, exists only because I like MicroChannel. No OS loaded. 486/DX2-50 processor, 16MB RAM, 500MB storage.

- IBM 5150 - the original PC. Obviously not in daily use, just being kept as a curiousity. 4.77 Mhz 8088 processor, 64KB (?) RAM, dual 5.25" floppies.

Which makes a grand total of 16 operable computers (there are also quite a few inoperable ones), more than half of which are in my room (yes, it's *very* loud - it's like another world when the power goes out..).
Assorted other equipment in the house includes: HP LaserJet IIID (duplexing), HP LaserJet 4+, and Epson Stylus Color 740 printers (all network attached via HP JetDirect print servers); Olympus C-3030 Zoom 3.34MP digital camera; Umax Astra 600P scanner; Linksys 8 port hub, 3Com 12 port hub, and HP 24 port hub; APC Smart-UPS 600.

Oh - are you going to tell us about yours?

My last actual x86 machine was a 1 GHz Athlon which ran Mandrake and Win98.

start with the MASTER (OICU812)
amdk6-III 450
523mb ram (that's what BIOS says!)
VD32K overclocked @ 220mhz :>
runs win2k flawlessly
400w PSU, epox mvp3c-m,
60GB, 60GB, 30GB, 30GB, 8.4gb, 6.4gb on ata100 and IDE, cdrom 40x, cdrw 8x4x32, zip100 usb, zip 250 scsi, canon Multipass c650 scanner/fax/print/copier machine (it SUUUUUUCKS!, SUCKS BAAAAD! i HAAATE IT!) which isn't that good a machine, and i don't like it (did i mention it sucks?), d-link usb camera, 56kmodem, flat panel+bass cube speaker system, logitech internet keyboard, dual wheel mouse and cable modem @ 1500+down/300+up, Lynksys 4-port router, and gamepad, flight yoke, and sidewinder devices
viewed on a digiview 15" display (i gotta get a bigger monitor!)

next up- (lappy)
toshiba sattelite 1555CDS
380mhz amd
4.1gb hdd, running win98se
floppy and cdrom @ same time , very nice feature, though it tends to make the whle thing weigh in @ over 7lbs, nearly 15 in da bag with all the extra gear
96mb ram
12.1 TFT display
networked to LAN, not used for much - i just have it so i can say i have a laptop

and- (pokey)
350mhz amd
a PC running win98se with 56mb ram, 8mb shared for video cuz it has onboard vid chip - a Super7 PC100 M598, and onboard sound, it's total crap even adding a "real" soundcard
gots a 6x cdrom, whooo so fast! NOT
it's got a whole 512mb hdd as c, and 2 1gb drives as slaves (don't ask...)
with a 14" monitor that's about to fall apart at the PC end of the plug
it's good enough to get online with though

and- (q-bert)
an OLD HP Vectra 500
a p130 maybe? i feget, but it's deadly slow
ruins win95 with 80mb ram (why more than the win98 PC? cuz this ram is the old 72pin crap, while the above uses std pc100)
cdrom, *might* be a 4x- more likely 2x speed
networked and the only PC on my LAN that has a working 5 1/4" floppy!
it runs the mustek 600 II EP scanner and a lexmark 3200 printer, but the only reason to keep this one around it that it's the only one that can see my kodak PDC 640 camera, which has to connect via serial cable
takes a decent shot, but not worth much

i still have my *really* old 286
packard bell legend I, a WHOLE FREEKIN 12MHZ and 640kb of RAM!! ( i have a 128k card that plugs into the board over the chips, but if i have all the ram filled on the board, it won't see the card, take the ram off the board and it sees the card, weird, i know - i can't get more than 640kb onto the system)
damn it's fast with DOS 3.1 though!!
got a whole 40mb hdd, and a 13" monitor (can't hook it to other PC, different type plug as you can imagine)

then there's the junk PC- (frankenstein)
might be a p90...
i dunno WHAT'S in it, made up of spare parts
i think it has a 1gb hdd and win98, a sound card, a network card and a plextor 6x SCSI cdrom
that's as much as i know - since i don't have another monitor/keyboard/mouse/power cables/boot floppy with scsi cdrom drivers to hook up, i never use it

- all of these are networked, with the router, with the exception of pokey, it's upstairs so i gotta run a 25' cat5 to a 12port hub, then another 10' cat5 to the PC

well, that was an exercise to find out that info again!

and, that's just the stuff "in use" (the frankenstein serves as a shelf, so it's "in use"
stuff not in use includes several 512mb and 1.2 gb hdds, a 5 port hub, an 8 port hub, another 5 1.4 floppy, dozens of fans of various sizes, 3 CueCats in stages of hacking, some nonfunctional mice and a box of cables of all types (which, btw, i KNOW i put in nicely and rolled up, but *every* time i open the box, they are completely messed up and tangled... go figger), and some spare network cards, sound cards, and an old mobo or two

i could probably write a whole page on just my stuff that i have lying around, but i'll stop there with the suff in use

(oh and if anyone has a MAC capable of running OS 9 fairly well they'd like to GIVE me so i can network it and learn something else, i'd be more than happy to take it off yer hands )

O.K., so it's late and I'm getting silly... (Although I actually do own those first two items.)

At home I have a bottom-of-the-line Indigo Blue 400 MHz iMac. When I want to write while lying in bed I use my trusty ol' Mac PowerBook 190 with the black-and-white screen and the broken trackpad button necessitating that I do all my mousing using just the trackpad. Packed away in the storage space under my bed is a not-quite-functional Performa 6116CD which my former employer gave me because they didn't want it anymore. It was a big step up (and yes, I am being sarcastic!) from the Mac Performa 635CD I owned which replaced the 4 MB black-and-white Mac Classic which replaced my Apple II+. (Hey, don't laugh! I wrote and illustrated an entire 360-page book using that Mac Classic with a StyleWriter I inkjet printer.)

I have this thing for trying to make older computers do more than people think they can and extending their lives. I once helped a start-up elementary charter school equip all their classrooms with dozens of networked computers for a budget of under $3000. Most of the units were of the Mac SE to Classic variety, which worked just fine for kids in the lower grades learning how to keyboard, writing papers, and playing games. I used to do the same thing with calculators -- I once programmed an HP 41CV (remember those?) to play Space Invaders on that little 12 character LCD screen.

At work is a different story: I have a G4 Titanium PowerBook for my personal use and access to just about any kind of computer, peripheral, or software I could want, PC or Mac. But there's no challenge in that at all...

So, Diva, what kind of computer do YOU drive?

At work (i.e., now):

imadev: HP Model 715/100. 100 MHz PA-RISC 1.1 processor, 96 MB RAM, 2x 2GB interal SCSI drives. HP-UX 10.20. About a 19" monitor. X runs at 1280x1024x8bits. (You cannot get higher than 8-bit color on the frame buffer in this beastie.) DDS-1 tape drive (won't read any of the tapes we actually use). Purpose: workstation, NIS slave server, squid proxy so I can get around the censoring transparent web proxy by bouncing selected domains off my squid proxy at home.

Also in office: HP Vectra VL PC. Pentium II, 64 MB RAM, 6 GB disk, 17" monitor, running Win95. Purpose: reading GroupWise email, Freenet node. (Port 25 incoming is open on my subnet, so that's the only port I can run it on. Fortunately I don't need to run an MTA on the Win95 box. Also I can't run Freenet on HP-UX because there's no JDK 1.3.)

Also in office: svr1: generic/Frankenstein Pentium II 266 MHz PC, 128 MB RAM, 3 SCSI disks (2x 4GB, 1x 2GB), DDS-3 tape drive. Red Hat Linux 5.2. Purpose: DNS server, NIS server, NFS server for small/low-volume files, database server. To be replaced with a larger/newer system Real Soon Now. Used to be in the server room, but it ended up in my "office" after the first (unsuccessful) attempt to switch over to its replacement system. Long story.

At home:

dwarf: HP Pavilion Celeron 400 PC, 64 MB RAM (needs more!), 1x4GB and 1x40GB IDE disks, 2 NICs, original parport Zip drive, Creative ModemBlaster 56k modem (a REAL modem that has an RS/232 cable between it and the host), DSL bridge/modem thingy (a REAL DSL "modem" that has a CAT5 cable between it and the host). Debian GNU/Linux "woody", kernel 2.2.20pre9. Purpose: NFS server, IP masq gateway to Internet, squid proxy, INN Usenet node (small), DHCP server, qmail server, Apache server (two instances: wooledge.org and greycat.yi.org on port 80, shared music files on port 8080 which is throttled), Freenet nodes (0.3 and 0.4).

jekyll (also formerly "hyde"): generic K6-2 333 MHz PC, 512 MB RAM (more than it needs, but I haven't wanted to take everything down to divvy it up), 1x6GB and 1x13GB IDE disks, SoundBlaster Live! (emu10k1), decent speakers, 15" monitor, ATI Rage IIc (Mach64) video card with 4MB video RAM, runs XFree86 4.1.0 at 1152x864x16bits (could also do 1024x768x32bits). Debian GNU/Linux "unstable" (also used to boot Win98, but not any more), kernel 2.2.19. Purpose: workstation, games, development/hacking, Ogg & MP3 encoding/playback.

fishy: hand-me-down Packard Bell Pentium 75 MHz PC, 40 MB RAM (used to have much less!), 500 MB IDE disk, 15" monitor running X 3.3.6 at 1024x768x8bits or 800x600x16bits, SoundBlaster ViBRA16X but no speakers connected at the moment. Debian GNU/Linux "unstable" but I don't update it very often, kernel 2.2.19. Purpose: can run Netscape if you're not in a hurry, kids can mess with it.

Also at home: generic Athlon 650 MHz PC, 128 MB RAM, 20GB IDE disk, IDE CD-R/RW burner. Windows 98 SE. Fucking unstable; I avoid it whenever possible. Purpose: wife/kids seem to prefer it for their games and web browsing, Dog only knows why. It is possessed by Evil, and has brought pain and suffering into my life. Occasionally I burn a CD on it (after rebooting and sacrificing a small animal).

Stable system for important stuff:
AMD K6-III/450MHz
384MB PC100 RAM
Diamond Viper TNT video card
30GB, 20GB and 13GB hard drives

I was wondering if someone was going to ask that question...

I don't. I just snail mail mine directly to the system, and read all of the posts via snail mail.

No ... wait! I am on one of those internet TV thingy's! HAHAHAHA!

Ok. I call my computer Craposaur. It was top of the line in 97... I had a friend build it for me, and I used to know all of the specifics. I'll tell what I can remember.
Pentium 1 233MHZ
96 Meg ram (Pc 66 bus) (64 of it is EDO)
8 Gig hard drive. (I have a 3.2 around here somewhere, but I can't remember where.)
Generic 24X CD-Rom, inoperable (Maybe it's from all the food I tried to e-mail)
Diamond labs sound card.
Some video card that I forget.
Sportster 56K modem.
Windows 98 (The crash test program ) I have Win 2000, but without the CD-Rom working, I can't install it!
Juster 3D-103, with subwoofer. <---Sucks on a level heretofore unknown to man.
Packard bell 15" monitor.

That's all I can remember. I use Corel 9 all of the time as my word processor, and also to make posters. (My speciality) But thanks to Win 98, I have to make sure I save it all the time ... I never know when it's going to crash on me. (I am lucky I got through this post!)

A friend gave me a Compaq Contura laptop. However the battery charger doesn't work, so I haven't been able to boot it up. (Does anyone know where I can get one? it's a series 2822, 18.5 volt.) Also my freind is totally clueless as to what the computer is. He doesn't even know if it is running Windows! (I am sure it is)
The thing almost weighs more than I do.

At Home, I have:

Diddly: PII 300, 256 MB RAM, Tyan 1854 Mobo, 3Dfx Voodoo3 3500 (TV out capability, so I can watch my ripped DVD's on demand at anytime without digging for them... also audio out from TV to my stereo so I can listen to MP3's anywhere in the living room, or plug 900 MHz wireless headphones in and work in yard while hearing MP3's.) It also has a 3GB Win2000 Server drive, and 80GB data drive (to hold all my movies and MP3's... thinking about getting another drive to chain off for a subdirectory, since I'm running out of space.)

----------Diddly was actually originally just an Internet Connection Sharing machine, so my roommate and I could surf Internet simultaneously. Now, it still does that (dial-up is only thing available in my area, but hopefully that'll change soon), but is mostly file server.

Squat: P-166, 2GB hard drive, 32MB RAM (don't know much else about parts). -----Squat, most of the time, just sits silent in my room. It's my test platform for various things (sometimes Windows XP, sometimes Linux.. Mandrake 8.0).

Grash: P3-600, Abit VA6 mobo, 256MB RAM, 9GB Windows XP OS drive, 4x Ricoh CD-RW, Hercules GeForce2 MX 64MB, SB Live Value, 12x Toshiba DVD, and at times a 20 GB drive (that'll be detailed on the next machine). Grash is my main home machine, when I feel like using a computer at home, and sits next to Squat. I use it to play games, play around with stuff, and just do normal home things.

Grash, Squat and my roommates computer (Drax1, Micron Millenia PII-333) are networked to an SMC 5-port 10/100 switch in my room. That's networked (through the basement and back up on the other side of the house) to an AOpen 10/100 hub, which has Diddly on it (and hopefully my 20+80 Tivo, which will get TivoNet when I get some funds free.)

At Work:

Byrn (personal machine): P3-600, Tyan1854 Mobo, 512MB RAM, Elsa Geforce3 Ultra 64, Creative Live Gamer 5.1, 20GB Win2000 Pro drive, 80GB data drive (mirrored at home on Diddly, since I had one of them die at one time and had to rebuild from scratch), HP 12x CD-RW, 10x Toshiba DVD, and at times a 20GB removable drive bay (to take stuff home to Grash and load over to Diddly, for mirroring purposes.) I work at a college in the IT Dept, so I have nights to surf and play games with the T1... slightly faster than a 56K at home... Byrn is my personal machine to do that. You'll notice this machine is a mix of Grash and Diddly, favoring games and hard drive space. Byrn was originally meant as a CD-burning station for me at work, since the normal one was only a 4x.

So, there you have my naming: Diddly and Squat (which as far as having people in front of them, get that much personal attention), and Grash and Byrn (OK, so I took a hint from Hackers). They may be slow, relative to todays speeds, but I'm on a low budget cycle at the moment, so they'll have to wait. They're all home-built... no Dell's or Gateway's in the pack. For my next major upgrade, I'll probably eye a P4-1800 around Feb or March for Byrn, move the 600 to Diddly, and max my RAM on all of them.

Oh, and my normal work machine just got replaced, and is now: PIII-1000, 256MB RAM, 12xDVD, 20GB hard Drive, Geforce2 MX 32. Homebrew, no name brand, and has a work-assigned name, so no personalization there... but it's still a sweet machine.

I also have a Canon scanner, but the SCSI drivers lock up every time I try to use it.

solly:
Sun SPARCstation2
40MHz SPARC processor
64MB RAM
400MB HD
32x Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM
Solaris 2.6
19" Sun-branded Sony Trinitron color monitor

bumblebee
486 DX2/66
32MB RAM
2.5GB on two drives
FreeBSD 4-something

There's bofh. It's the Ultra 60 workstation I drive at work. 512 MB ram, 18 GB harddrive (but I am attached to a network with LOTS of storage, so it is not an issue...) and 2 Ultrasparcs II at 360 MHz. I used to have 2 Ultraspacrs II at 450 MHz, but they were needed for a server. Times are hard. Oh, and did I mention the dual, 21" displays

There's voyager. The name is actually a relic from when I lived with roommates. Our workgroup name was, yes, Federation. It's a Dell Inspiron 5000, running at 500 MHz and currently at 256MB ram. It has a cool 15" LCD display and is equiped with both Fast Ethernet and 802.11b networks. (I am typing this on my kitchen table...) Sadly enough, it is running that other operating system (Win2K). I am seriously considering replacing it with Linux, but the abundance of Windows based games I like to play would make it a bit more difficult.

There was also defiant (yep, it too was on the roomies' network... Wait, their machines were on my network. After all, I built it.) It a Cyrix II at 300 MHz, with 196 MB ram and a small 8GB harddrive. What can I say, it was a Christmass gift. It is currently down, being the victim of a troubleshooting session gone bad. I will put it back together sometime and load Linux on it.

Yeeah.. What does 'kewl' mean ?

Even despite that the last message on this topic was sent 3 days ago, I will TELL you what I am using. Now listen...

At work I won a fight for a Celeron600 128MB RAM with WinNT 4.0. I transformed it into a WinNT + RedHat Linux 7.1.
Finally, after some crashes (in NT, obviously) I am preparing to transform it into pure Linux machine. It hosts (or will do it) a firewall, a DNS server and internal-network WWW server.

At home I drive a AMD K6/2 350 with 96MB RAM, 30GB HD and 2,5GB HD (which I carry in my case from work to home and from home to work). It also runs RedHat, but this time combined with Win98.
Windoze is pretty stable, as I usually just play games on it. Before Linux came, I used Delphi on it. I must admit that this machine was pretty stable. Okay... sometimes it crashed when I was debugging my programs, but I could live with it.
The machine evolved from a Pentium 200 MMX, 32 MB RAM and this 2,5 GB drive. The only parts that survived modifications are: the case (with dying power-supply-fan), monitor (15'' with built-in speakers), sound card (I don't care about it, so I don't remember what type it is.), the keyboard, hard drive and one 32MB RAM module.
Once I bought a Pentagram Omen modem and now I am trying (Ok.. I will try ) to install it under Linux.
As I usually work at home at night, I had to muffle the machine. I found it best to wrap the machine in a bath-towel.

I have an Atari ST (it's monitor I use as TV set) and an Atari 130 XE. I love them, but no longer use.

Then there's my iBook, Rhapsody.

Humph, I haven't got a name for it, besides 'my rad computer'

Its a G3 Powerbook (Lombard)
400 Mhz
192 megs of RAM
I haven't messed with much else, though I'm lookin' at a new hard drive like 20gigs or so. 4 just isn't enough. I also have a portable Sony USB cd burner too, though I don't know its model #.

Ah, then theres the classic in the corner. I'll bet that not many of you have even *heard* of this one...

Its an AMIGA 3000, (Made by Commodore which replaced the 1000) that I used to use. I think we got it in '89, and it still runs great. The 68040 processor runs at 22.5Mhz, and it came with 512k of RAM, though for about $125 (in 1990) we upgraded with an additional 1024k of EXTERNAL RAM. It was in a box about the size of a VHS tape. Oh, how exciting that was.

I still firmly believe that the OS on the AMIGA is one of the best out there. It was simple, and was only about 640k in size. Oh man, unbeatable. So simple, so easy to use. Too bad Commodore USA went out of business. Ah, the competitive marketplace...

Hmmm... Interesting- the A3000 could be had with a 68030 running at 16MHz or 25MHz. The A4000 was the first Amiga to have a 68040, running at 25MHz. Later on the A4000 could be had with an '030 processor. It was possible to install the A4000's A3640 and A3630 processor cards into an A3000, but they were both 25MHz, not 22.5.

Whoops, I stand corrected. It has been quite a while since I've checked the specs on that thing. It still works great though.

I didn't write it I just snagged it for use in sigfiles.

And yes, my iBook is blueberry

I want a new one though.

For $15 you couldn't afford *not* to buy it.

Ti: My baby is a Powerbook G4 500mhz, 40gig HD, Airport enabled (and used on my 1mg ADSL) and running OSX 10.1 with a partition of 9.2.1 and all the fixin's, 384mgs of RAM to boot, Sony 12x8x32x Firewire CD-RW, and a JVC Cybercam for those digital video's

Hooper: My other computer is a powerbook 3400c 240mhz, the last powerbook model before G3's were stuck in em. 80mg of Ram, running Yellowdog Linux Champion Server 2.1, stuffed in a drawer currently as laptops make great stashable servers.

He never sent me any emails back after the show though. Remember Me I brought you a battery between my sexual encounters the night before the keynote.

I also have my FrankenMac

PowerMac 7300/266 G3 upgraded
Voodoo2 card
Adaptec 2640 UW card
3 (count 'em -- 3) internal HDs (one in the Zip drive bay, one in the HD bay, one in the Floppy bay)
0 Floppy drives (removed to make room for HD #3)
The case doesn't fit on quite right anymore, as the integral floppy bezel hits HD#3.

Those who are easily offended should be.

Then came the original issue Bondi Blue iBook -- named "Brodie" because of the dog in the iMac "Shoot-Out" infomercial with the kid and his dog (anyone remember that one?).

And my latest personal acquisition is an Apple G4 Titanium Powerbook, original issue. (Gee, can you tell I'm an "early adopter") At the time, it was top of the line, custom-built model with 500 Mz, loaded with 512 MB RAM and a 30 GB drive. Got myself the extra battery and airport card too. I usually just call it "TiBook" for short.

There is another "baby" in the family since then -- I bought it for my Sweetie... an Apple G4 867Mz Quicksilver. He likes it when I buy him new toys...

What computer(s) are you using? What OS? What makes your `puter so kewl? Are you tired of my silly slang? (i.e. `puter and kewl)

Please tell me about your altar of technology.

I realize I am probably not the first one to post this question... Please feel free to inform me of this fact!
