No computer battles in our home! Hubby is a programmer who has done a lot of work on networking. He has a ring of notebooks for the purpose. I've got a desktop which I use to connect to the internet, create and manage a website and play games. I also have a notebook in my studio. My son has his own computer off in his own corner of the office.
My first computer was a Televideo back in the middle ages. Was a nice machine for its time and was my means of connecting to Compu$erve. 300 baud was the norm and I remember very well how excited we were when we were finally able to bump up to 1200 baud!
I had a CommodorSX around the same time I had that Televideo. I used it only for games and remember many of those games very fondly!
How things have changed!! (and wait 20 minutes and they'll change again!)
