(please tell me someone other than me recognizes the computer in the title? anybody?)

1. Mac or Windows? (Or Linux for you super geeks!)

Mac!

2. What drew you to that operating system?

It's pretty. 

But seriously, I was a Windows girl for a really long time. Then, I got fed up with how bulky, heavy and overall annoying my Compaq laptop was and started playing with my boyfriend's Macbook. The rest is history.

3. Mice – Wireless or Wired? Mouse pad or none?

Hmm...wireless is cool, but I've had problems with them. And definitely mouse pad. I hate that scritchy on-the-desk mouse sound.

4. Other than the Internet – What do you use your computer most for?

Games, probably. Sometimes writing.

5. What’s one computer-related thing you wish you were best at? (CSS, Photoshop, Excel, etc.)

I would probably up my Photoshop or web-building skills, but my boyfriend does that for me now, sooooo... ;)

6. Describe the first time you ever used a computer.

Pretty sure it was playing Oregon Trail in school. But we've had a computer in my house since I was 9, so that's pretty darn early. I remember playing Lemmings, Number Munchers, Reading Rabbit and Kings Quest 3!

7. How often do you upgrade to a new operating system?

I don't really care how often it gets updated, but my BF likes to be up to date, so usually my computer gets updated.

8. Are you a short-cutter (CTRL+C) or a right-clicker?

I used to be solely a right-click kind of girl. Now I'm a combo of the two.

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)?

I use computers pretty much 24-7, if you include my iPhone. I love the computer and think it's a wonderful invention!

10. Where do you think the world would be if personal computers did not exist?

In a sad, sad place. But seriously, think of how many advancements have been made with the computer. And I know I, personally, wouldn't be in as close contact with any of my friends/family if it weren't for computers, since I hate the phone.
