Only on a Linux forum will you find people bragging about how little computing power their machine has, LOL.

So true, Windows Forums, you see "I got an i7 extreme with a Radeon HD 5970 and 12 GB ram"

In Mac forums you see "I have 13 inch macbook pro running snow leopard"

In Linux forums you see "I got a P-2 at 400 mHz with 64 MB Ram"

LOL. Linux <3

That looks like a pen to me. I prefer to use the more volatile media known as Pencil v0.2

I often use a pen, got a pile of notebooks randomly filled with interesting and/or useful snippets of information that I can never find when I want them again. Must get them organised, someday.

Information such as the location of that notebook, just in case you forget where you left it?

No, I know where they all are, but the information in them isn't ordered: stuff related to one particular thing is scattered, not on the same page or even consecutive pages. A bit here, a bit there. A mess.
I keep thinking I should go through them, sort the wheat from the chaff, and type & print the useful bits - but I'm a lazy ****er.

You will end up with a pile of paper with gawd knows what printed on it.

You will be typing stuff into a file... you will decide that this file has stuff in it which should go into another file... you will end up with loads of files which you don't want to delete...

I have an old thinkpad which I hardly ever use. I copy stuff to it via samba and the router. It has a button you can press and the CD machine pops out and I replace it with a second hard-drive, onto which I copy stuff.

I therefore have three hard-drives with all sorts of stuff copied, or not copied. Actually, I took the hard-drive out and I can't remember where I put it.

Might be better than it is now: a pile of notebooks with gawd knows what scribbled in them.

Pencil, pen, paper? Wow. What technology.

i still use my trusty Hell Longitude E00001 with Lackware and a custom compiled kernel 0.0.00-0 dual-kicked with Prisonbars 3.1 by Will Hates on some 1 Byte DDR0 RAM and an integrated nShitia Sunlight accelerator noForce 001, and the trusty Lintium-2 by Dumbtel clocked at 000.000000000000021 Mhz with a full half-core -i7 CPU. The screen is awesome...piece of Scotch tape at 400 x 129 res with 2 dpi.
