Hmm to bad that Opera is too heavy for my PC, and I don't find any Firefox version that supports Windows ME, when I use Opera my PC runs very sloooowww...
You refused to upgrade because don't have spare money to spend on it? Hehe.. Image

nope.
I'm a digital artist.
Yes, LCD's and plasma's have bright and nice colors, but they are not accurate. especially when it comes to absolute black and absolute whites.
also, my room is somewhat bright and a window right behind me, and that can really make an LCD screen hard to see, and even mess up the colors a bit. which is bad because then the image could look different on a different pc. or even if you site or look at your screen from a different angle.

whereas a CRT:
doesn't get dead pixels.
no color distortions.
bright light doesn't effect the screen or colors.
last a very long time.
nice color display.

I have a laptop in my room too, uses an LCD screen. I can pretty much only use it at night <_<

Yep, I agree with you, when I see it from side, it'll turn darker, and it's hard to see if there's a light behind you

I just use one or two virtual drives for playing games, so it won't show the "Please Insert disc" error message

Wow... I always want a quad core processor, combined with 1 TB harddrive and that kind of VGA card, it's very cool Image

yeah had to beg the wife for a while to let me shell out the $$$ for those items.. she didnt get why i needed to upgrade if the old system worked... lol had to explain how It workers and Geeks alike need to stay on top of new tech or you will get slowly faded out.
now just trying to convince her that we need a 42'' monitor :lol: Wal-Mart had one for around $500 for a nice LCD HDTV and with HDMI out on the PC it would be so nice.. but she thinks that is over kill... lol

You know, it's like watching at the front line on a cinema. You'll need to move your head from left to right in order to read all the text Image

Well... I'd say so too (if I was the wife) =P

Gratz on the new rig by the way. 1GB of RAM seems a little low for a new PC, no? AI guess it will not be toooo bad for XP, but I would have definitely bought more than 1GB!... Anyway hope you are enjoying your new multi-threaded goodness :P

I'm still pretty behind... gotta be time for an upgrade soon... however still having a 333MHz Cyrix before your upgrade is pretty old skool :) How did you resist for so long?! And how did you even stay SANE using Windows ME?!?!?!??! Worst. OS. Ever. :D

CPU
Processor = AMD Althlon 4000+ (single core)
VGA = GeForce 7800GTX
RAM = 4GB
Soundcard = C-Media Onboard
Harddisk = bout 500GB across 3 drives
etc

Input
Mouse = razer diamondback
Keyboard = logitech g15

Output
Monitor = 21" Iiyama Visionmaster and 19" Visionmaster Pro CRTs
Printer = nope

Network
Connection Speed = 50 Mbps cable

Well.. It's because I have insufficient fund to buy them all at once, so I pick only the most crucial things.
I want to buy another ram, vga, internal tv tuner, usb joystick, hmm what else did I missed? Hehe...

How did I resist for so long? Hmm.. It's because I'm a patient person (really?? nah..)
Actually this is the inner tomoe_uehara after using Windows ME for almost 3 years --->

now get back on #ahk! btw, Opera has a built-in irc client, so you don't need to download another client (if you want).
