I had a fantastic time in Delaware and I put together a little post for Monday about the very many foods I ate (I put on 4.5 lbs in 4 days – shoot me now). However, it wouldn’t have been complete without the photos, and I was a lazy April when I got home from work so that didn’t get done. Therefore, no Monday food post. Moving on! Maybe I’ll just have a Wednesday food post instead. You know you want it.
But TOT is on today’s agenda, so here you are!
1. Mac or Windows? (Or Linux for you super geeks!)
Windows.
2. What drew you to that operating system?
I’m not necessarily anti-Mac (they do/did have cutie Justin Long to campaign for them, you know) but they just cost so dern much! If someone wants to give me one I wouldn’t turn it down though. Just sayin’.
3. Mice – Wireless or Wired? Mouse pad or none?
At home I just use the touchpad on the laptop but if by chance I use the desktop (which never happens – that is for hubby’s video game obsession and photo storage only) there’s a rollerball mouse in there, no mouse pad. At work, wireless.
4. Other than the Internet – What do you use your computer most for?
Hubby’s shoot-em-ups and photo storage. Words with Friends. Solitaire (I’m obsessed w/ Solitaire).
5. What’s one computer-related thing you wish you were best at? (CSS, Photoshop, Excel, etc.)
photoshop, I think. I do a lot with Picasa and lately, Piknik, but it would be nice to do fancy shit.
6. Describe the first time you ever used a computer.
I don’t remember, but this weekend we were discussing back when Prodigy was the thing and we would dial up, go make a bowl of cereal, and wait for our chat rooms to load. We were so cool.
7. How often do you upgrade to a new operating system?
Hubby likes to upgrade. I think upgrading is generally what screws things up. So whenever he wants to, and then shortly thereafter I complain enough that we get a new computer. Or, Spencer pulls the keys off the keyboard and then we get a new computer.
8. Are you a short-cutter (CTRL+C) or a right-clicker?
I heart shortcuts.
9. Is computer-use a constant thing in your life (such as using it both at work and home) or do you get a break (because you don’t use them at work)?
All the time. Constantly, work, home, phone-in.
10. Where do you think the world would be if personal computers did not exist? I’m not sure I would want to live there. It would be nice to vacation there though. Can I bring my phone?

Windows.
2. What drew you to that operating system?
I like building my own computers.
3. Mice – Wireless or Wired? Mouse pad or none?
Wireless at home and at work. No mouse pad at work, but I do have one at home, mostly to keep crumbs off that part of my desk *blush*.
4. Other than the Internet – What do you use your computer most for?
Games. Ebay.
5. What’s one computer-related thing you wish you were best at?
I wish I had kept up with programming and was a Java expert. Otherwise I'd like to be better at video and picture editing.
6. Describe the first time you ever used a computer.
Does typing programs into my Dad's TI-99/4A count?
7. How often do you upgrade to a new operating system?
Not often. I just upgraded from XP to 7 this year.
8. Are you a short-cutter (CTRL+C) or a right-clicker?
I love shortcuts. The more I can use the keyboard and not break away to the mouse, the better.
9. Is computer-use a constant thing in your life (such as using it both at work and home) or do you get a break (because you don’t use them at work)?
Constant at home and at work. I'm surprised I've never had CTS, but sometimes my neck hurts for days and I'm convinced sitting in front of a computer all day and night is what causes my migraines.
10. Where do you think the world would be if personal computers did not exist?
I may have still pursued a CS degree, but I doubt there would be as many jobs. Maybe I'd be working in a museum or a travelling archeologist.
