Query: Do you have your own computer? You get to set the wallpaper and the interface settings and shit. You set the username and password and there are no other users on it and nobody else keeps any files on it. It is YOURS. Do you have that?
My laptop is my own, it's pretty much a necessity for college. If I didn't have this computer I would have taken my desktop computer with me from home, but even though it's in my room and I was the only one who really used it I still kind of considered it my parent's computer. They were the ones who bought it after all.
I could say the same about my laptop, but technically, my uncle gave it to me for a graduation/birthday/christmas present my senior year of high school. I'm definitely the only one who uses this.
So what if I am spoiled?? I'm super thankful for it.
Bought my iMac in 2007, had my own eMac before that since 2002, built a PC tower before that in 1996. I'd probably go insane from brain explosion if I didn't have a computer of my own. Of course, it'd be hard to continue to share a computer with family when I'm not living with family.
I own more than one computer but would still be open to computer-hugging, so I'm unsure in which direction to cast my vote!
I currently own a Dell laptop that I bought in Nov 2007. And as I mentioned about two weeks ago, I recently had a friend help me build a new desktop. I have two computers running side by side here. I am a model of decadence in China.
I was certainly giddy when I got my first personal computer back in 2003. It's more or less the same computer that I've had since then, and I'm still loving it immensely.
I have a laptop at home, circa 2006. The first one was in 2003, when I started university. Currently using my work computer, which feels like it is mine, except it is not.
I've had my own computer since '01 or '02, but only because my step dad brought home old computers they were throwing out where he worked. I think, I don't quite remember. My parents, sister, and I all got refurbished emachines a couple years after that, but mine died a little over two years ago. After that I got a Dell, since that was the only thing that still had XP.
