Well, I started using computers back in 94 or 95, can't remember exactly... I started off playing games on Commodore 64. Then I got my hands on a book about BASIC programming language, and I figured, why don't I just make my own games. Later on, I realized I had absolutely NO talent for making games, just ideas laugh.gif But, I didn't give up programming, and now, I spend about 12 to 16 hours in front of a computer, at home or at work. I work as a programmer, and, well... You know that's time consuming wink.gif

There isn't much new I can say I do with my computer:
- work, work, work smile.gif
- listen to music
- watching movies
- chat/im with friends
- surfing
- maintaining my website
- posting on forums
- occasional game? smile.gif

That about wraps it up, for now wink.gif laugh.gif

I am glad I am not that far behind in the world. Yesterday I actually installed my own second hard drive. 80 gig so it should hold a substantial amount but I had never done that before. I am really thinking that I should be able to deliver when it comes to creating my own computer at some point in time though with today's games and entertainment really asking a lot, it no longer is truly cheaper to make your own tower or anything.

ok since there was a topic about internet. I'll strictly talk about computer uses. Its not very much because the internet is where I use most of time. Hmmm...

I sometimes use notepad to write little small scripts or code my website and view them offline. That doesn't ahppen very much.

I type my homework or projects especially my essays becaus paper and pencil just won't work for me. Takes too long to use that. lol. And plus quick editting is excellent for typing.

listening to music off of cds. i don't do that much. i play the default windows xp games. some of them are fun when i'm really bored.

Other times i just make banners and stuff with Paintshop pro.
