Yay! ----> Computer purchased!

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

Well. Dreamy's computer died. Sort of. The motherboard died. Or whatever it's called. And because it costs a lot, and my moniter is old and takes up most the desk and lots of other things are dying, I'm getting a new computer! Not brand spankin' new. But new as in.. one I haven't owned/used. xD We're looking at macs and pretty quick pcs. Like 2ghz or more.

Right now I've got my eye on a powermac g4 with 800mhz(decent.. Just below 1ghz) and it has Photoshop CS 2! It's 145 dollar BIN and 30 dollar shipping. So right now, my dad is considering it.

ooh try e bay

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

We're looking on ebay and craigslist.

I don't like macs (my school ruined it for me XDD) Our school one's suck. I refuse to work on them! The keyboards are AWFUL! I have to like use MUSCLE just to push down the keys. It's sooo hard and sticky-like. Then the computers are sloooooow. And I don't like how they are set-up. I guess though... those computers are at least like 8-9 years old though.. But I think you can't download a lot of different things. Like a friend of mine has a Mac and I wanted to go on Open Canvas with her, but it wouldn't let her download it. I don't know if I like Dell much either... I'm picky XD My dad usually buys parts and puts a computer together. x3 He did that with his recent one and omg that thing is speedy!

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

xD I'm picky too. I have an 8 year old dell. And I hate it with a passion. I hate PCs with a passion. But if it has photoshop, I'll compromise. xD My dad buys parts and builds them too. Like my old computer was 2ghz which is pretty good. But it was PC and it is complooey unless we want to spend a couple hundred dollars on it. And honestly, I do not care much for it. x3 I like macs more because of my dad's computer. It was 2.5k so it better be good. Haha. And the only real things I'd care to have on it is finder, safari, gimp, photoshop, and.. yeah. It'll be my art computer. Games and other things can go on my laptop(s) and my sister's computer.

I have a 6 year old Dell right now...its slow, but apparently it doesn't have enough RAM (something like that? I've heard it spoken, but I haven't seen it typed) and that's why. I'm sooo hoping it doesn't die on me because if it does, I'm screwed. They won't buy me a new one, and mom doesn't let me on VP, SheezyArt, or any other site like that on her computer, and AIM doesn't work on it. I wouldn't be able to contact my best friend -at all-, because she moved all the way to NC and AIM is the only way we can talk (but she's due to arrive here for a monthish visit...OMG! TODAY!!! *screams*) I wish I had Photoshop...I'd definitely get that computer Dreamy, if you look at the prices for Photoshop CS2 when it doesn't come with the computer. I looked a few months ago and it was $400. Wayyyy out of my league. You'd be saving a lot of money by getting that computer ^^

SunnyDaysDontLie · June 2008

Psh, my comp is old enough to be your computers grandpa. Its a hoss, thats for sure. I killed my moms comp by spilling coffee on it, but good luck ^^

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

My previous computer was made up of parts(did I mention we buy parts and build our own?) so parts of it were 1-2 some were 5-8 and so on. O_o But like.. a monitor, a computer and some laptops died within a month. So sad.

DoodleBugHolding · June 2008

My oldest computer was what my mom had when she was in like college or something xD It was one of those big square light gray computers x_x Only three/four years ago I bought a thin screen Emachine <33 I love it and it has never given me problems <33

KiteKatsumi9 · June 2008

My parents got a brand new, thin screen dell a year or two ago..its slower than my 6 year old dell 0o

Foolish · June 2008

My dad ordered parts and put our computer together. It was all new, but it was specified to what he wanted (He used to have a bunch of recording stuff). We've had it for a few years, but it's still faster than most. I would Kill to have CS2. We had it for a few weeks when we moved into the new house, because It mysteriously apeared. I was thrilled. Then it dissappeared. My dad had no clue where it came from or went.

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

Wow. That's really odd. I'm only looking at computers with photoshop. And under 200 dollars and I've seen quite a few nice ones.

Just a matter of the processor.

Only thing I'm worried about is that the software doesn't come with it. So if for whatever reason it disappears, it's gone forever.

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

*screams* Oh. My. Gosh. I found a better computer.. It's Dell.. It's got a 2.2 ghz processor(.2 better than what my dad wanted) And it's 5 dollars more than the mac I was looking at. And the best thing of all... It's Got CS 3!!!!!!

I wish my parents knew how to put different parts of a computer together x3 xD Sounds like a nice computer! Good luck with buying/getting it ^^ Then Ruffian get's er' dyes? *hides*

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

Ruff gets her dyes when I get my computer. ^_^ I promise. And I'll see what my bank account looks like and see if I can get you a third for the long wait. ^^ It's actually only 5 dollars more than the mac I was looking at(OMGosh!) So that really got me excited. Then I saw the processor and I was like.. Whoa. And then I saw photoshop and was like.. *drools* musthave. x3 It's only 150 dollars!

Silver Husky · June 2008

Our computer is a Windows hp, or something like that. It's really nice and pretty fast, but when my cousin came over and did something on myspace it nearly murdered it >.> The computer guy from my step-dad's work came over and fixed it, but in the process wiped out both my parents' iTunes account, yet mine was untouched. :P And everyone wonders why I hate myspace xP My step-dad won't let me download or install anything on it becaue he says it'll make everything super slow includeing the internet just like our old computer. I don't even bother trying to remind him that even afer uninstalling everything our old computer was slower-then-a-snail because it was a Wal-Mart special from like 1998 and our internet at the time was AOL dial-up(you know the kind where you can't be online and use the phone at the same time?) x_x Which is why I want to get a laptop but he says I'd have to buy it myself and I'm not old enought to work yet. Stupid child labor laws >_>

Grapple · June 2008

I want to get a laptop very badly, but I'd like to get a scanner.. even though there is one next to me that my mom said the people at work didn't need, but there is a something or other missing If I had a laptop... I wouldn't sleep.. at all

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

I got a scanner for Christmas last year. I don't really know what I want for Christmas or my birthday. Normally I ask for one thing I REALLY want. As we get one really nice gift and 3-4 cheapy gifts.

Gosh, dad! They lowered the buy it now price by 25 dollars(now, 125 dollars!) and he can't decide. GAH

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

WOW! He bought it! I'm getting CS 3! Oh. My. Gosh. I'm in like.. complete shock. :shock:

ParanoidThoughts8 · June 2008

ohhh, my bad XD I thought I said CS3 but I guess I said CS2

UnknownDreamland · June 2008

Well, I mentioned CS2 earlier. So maybe you just got confused or maybe just a mistake. No biggie.

Howdy, Stranger!

Yay! ----> Computer purchased!
