Now that you have a computer you can use it to start all manners of random threads!

Congrats. My GF had an Acer laptop and they completely stood behind their product. Good choice. I'm saying that as I type from a Mac.

Actually - it seems to have slowed him down a bit...

And when he gets his first virus/spyware etc. - it'll get even slower!!

If you managed to start that many threads/posts _before_ you had your own comp, I can only imagine the floodgates that have been opened with this purchase.

So, whose computer have you been using? And based on your TB usage, has that person ever been able to get on it?

I suppose many people post from work - using PCs that they technically don't own...?

Although we tend to think of them as : "my computer"...?
