I have an old HP Laptop... not listing it here. It still works and in the 5ish years that I've had it, I've only had an issue with it once.

I've trimmed down my computer equipment when I moved back in August (didn't want to pay to move old stuff), but here's what I have left:

Laptop (primary machine)
Apple iBook
1.42GHz PowerPC G4
1GB RAM
60GB hard drive
32MB ATI Radeon 9550
12in. LCD
Mac OS X v10.4

PC (gaming machine)
Custom built
2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo (dual-core 64-bit processor)
2GB RAM
640GB SATA hard drive
256MB Nvidia GeForce 8600 GT
21in. Sun CRT monitor
Windows Vista Business 64-bit



I'm currently interviewing for a job as a Ruby on Rails developer. If I end up getting the job, I think I'm going to get one of the higher-end aluminum Macbooks, to replace my aging iBook.

Oh, I don't mind the small screen so much. I've used a 12-inch iBook as my primary machine since I first got one in 2002, so I'm used it. Definitely like a larger screen, but I also like having a small, lightweight laptop. _smile.gif Actually, I can connect the laptop (even the new Macbooks) to my (ancient) Sun monitor anyway, so if I really want a big screen, I can use one; but the iBook only supports a resolution up to 1024x768 anyway, so the point is kind of moot.

That sounds like a pretty awesome job, I know JC had a question about Ruby on Rails, like where he could get some information for it about 2-2.5 years ago.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm supposed to know within 2 weeks whether I got the job or not.

It's metric, 1 GHz(Gigahertz) = 1000MHz (Megahertz), therefore, it's 0.8GHz

Dude. Thats pretty tiny.

It's 21 inches. I don't use it with my laptop a lot, because normally it's connected to my desktop machine.
