pwx who invented it and asked people to add additional questions to it.)
• Computer: IBM ThinkPad 600E (bought used).
• OS: RedHat 8. Will be upgrading to FC2 soon.
• Connection: 802.11b wireless to ~12 megabit/sec cable modem.
• Harddrive capacity: 10GB, minus two bad cylinders I've formatted around.
• Free harddrive space: 4GB. Would be more if I didn't have 2.3GB allocated to a harddrive copy of the RH8 installation CD's.
• RAM: 160MB.
• Processor: PII 400 Mhz.
• In your CD drive(s) right now: Nothing. CD is out of the drive bay, replaced by a 3-hour battery.
• Browser: Mozilla 1.0.1 (will be upgrading to FC2's version).
• Livejournal client: Mozilla. Who needs a special-purpose client?
• IRC client: none.
• FTP Client: ftp, lftp, vsftp, mozilla, Emacs!
• Email: kmail.
• Spyware remover: Linux.
• Virus detection: Linux.
• Instant Messenger: none.
• Mp3 player: None. Will probably get one for FC2.
• Graphics editor: GIMP.
• HTML editor: Mozilla, rarely Emacs.
• Movie player: None. Might get one for FC2.
• p2p: none.
• Text editor: Emacs!!!
• Game systems: Windows 98, Windows XP.
• What's inside each of them: Intel inside! Well, the XP has an Athlon. One of the others has a Celeron 400, the third has a PII-233.
• No, dummy, what game disk is inside! Oh. Why didn't you say so? I don't know what's in the PII right now. The Celeron is probably empty, but was last used to play "Toy Story". The Athlon probably has a copy of "Age of Mythology".
• On the TV (card): No card. I keep thinking I ought to get one before the US bans them next year. At the moment, all TV's in the house are off.
• In the CD Player: Home-made CD by Wifey, containing songs legally downloaded from the web because we already own LP's with the same recordings on them (that's my take, anyway -- I'm sure the RIAA disagrees).
• Printer: None. Celeron has an HP LaserJet III. Athlon has a Canon i550, chosen for its simple ink tanks. Do not buy printers from Lexmark!
• Scanner: None. Athlon has a UMax Astra 1220P, bought years ago because "it was just so cheap!" at BJ's.
• CD drives: 24x for DriveBay, rarely installed.
• Mouse: IBM TrackPoint.
• Firewall: NetGear CG814M Accesspoint/router/switch/firewall/cable modem.
• Windows folder size: What is this "Windows" you speak of? I have less than half the RedHat 8 packages installed. I keep all the others on disk but uninstalled in case I suddenly want them.
• Okay smartass, how about your home directory? 174 MB, mostly mail and Mozilla cache, I think.
