Heh, I thought it was something my fellow mole people could understand. The good news with domestic IT support is that 95% of the time it is something that is quickly fixable. I know people that believe their internet broken when they somehow manage to press the function button which disables internet access. Your line of work definitely pays well as there is always messes with the computers, it just is as you said variable what you will find.

Heh, I think the computers at my school had Windows 2000. I didn't really wish to touch them more than I had to, waiting to come home to play around with my computer and environment. The problem with playing with a powerful setup is that you forget how bad everything else is until you actually have to touch it. I have talked about startups, but mine might actually be pretty fast based on other computers I have seen. Most of the people I am around aren't exactly technical, so I don't really have an optimized computer to compare mine to :P

Amazing. I actually turned off notifications for the Wikia in regards to email, I have a phone that tells me when I get email automatically but I go crazy if it is constantly going off the hook. As I check this place constantly anyway, it never really mattered, even though I will therefore be less instantaneous. I don't really like using e-mail applications like Outlook, I never really saw the point as it seemed just as quick to either have notifications from your phone or just log into your email when needed. I don't like things like email always up and interrupting me, I like controlling when I am interrupted :P

Heh, I understand what you mean about the bright whiteness of Google. I have gotten pretty used to it, so it doesn't bug me, but I can see how it would get annoying for someone else. Stardock definitely seems to be the place to go for customization, even if using too many of their apps at once can kill your system (note, I was using a very old and weak computer, even at the time I was optimizing it on XP).

I tried to do that, but I just never really got the motivation or desire to learn touch-type. One time I was talking to some people who had learned touch-type and wanted to teach it to me, but started saying it would be pointless to learn after they saw that I was faster then them when typing one letter at a time. I don't look at the keys, I know by now exactly where each key is located (unless I change the position of the keyboard, in which case all is offset appropriately) and can bang out my text with little to no errors.

Thanks for saying that. There are a few things I cannot stand and don't like therefore messing with, such as respawning enemies (Nightmare mode of doom drives me crazy) or Health lowering for no reason. Health set to a ridiculous amount and difficult AI is something I strive to play with, I used to love clobbering the AI in Unreal (though that usually took a lot of practice, I tended to start out pretty weak and have to work at it). Normal FPS games with normal settings, I will always play at the hardest difficulty even if I haven't played the game before. It would drive me crazy to play on a lower difficulty.

You just stated my dream, getting an i7. Right now I have an i5, though I believe it to be a bit lower model. I think CPU is probably the weakest area of my computer right now and something I definitely need to upgrade. I actually was planning on upgrading it too, but then I broke my headphones and had to replace it. As all my toys cost at least three hundred dollars, I get only a couple at the most a year :P.

As for a SSD, I have heard about those, but I am not sure I like the idea of such small storage and short life. I think I would rather just get a large tb hard drive. My videos in their raw format can take up a lot of space, sometimes taking up half or three thirds of my entire hard drive.

Heh, no pets for me, they drive me crazy. Dogs are the worst, I have never met a dog that hasn't stressed me out from its loud noises. Cats can be a pain too, especially if they are Siamese and like to attack you for making noise but make noise themselves. I am an animal person, I just don't like to have pets myself.
