What were the specifications of your first computer?

My first had a 500mhz PIII, 128MB of RAM, windows 98, and 7GB of hard drive space. I soon got a new one with a 40GB hard drive, 256MB of RAM, and 450MHZ PIII (soon upgraded to 600MHZ) and an old install of ubuntu.

Pretty self-explanatory. How many hours do you spend playing games of any kind daily? Be sure to vote in the poll!

As I've said before, I'm using Xfce D/E. But in the category of window managers, I like OpenBox (I've considered using CrunchBang Linux before) and ratpoison. What do you use? And you had better not say unity

Personally, rock is one of my favorite music styles. I can listen to it all day, and it never gets old. My favorite bands have to be Triumph, red, linkin park, Rush, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, and probably several others I can't remember off the top of my head.

What are your favorite rock bands?

There has been quite a bit of fierce competition between AMD and Intel over the past years. Intel tends to build higher-performance processers, but AMD has lower prices and has been the leader in other ways, as they made 64 bit a mainstream technology and just recently have come up with the concept of the APU.

Personally, I use an AMD because it's cost-effective. What's your preference?

It's only two days after launch, and we're already seeing great activity here at Makestation, thanks to are awesome members here. In response, I've rearranged some of the boards to try and integrate the showcase center more with the rest of the discussions here. My hope is that the new layout will be more descriptive and that the changes will ultimately make the showcase boards feel more like the rest of the forums. We've also created the project journal's section, where you can showcase any projects that you are working on to the community.

If you have any comments, suggestions, etc..., feel free to drop a reply in this thread. We're open to hearing your feedback about the current layout.

I got the idea for mine from the coadmin of hardwiredgoogle.com, as he went by darth-android. Despite being a google fansite, I decided to join in and went by darth Apple. I've been using that username at many sites since.

What the origin of your username?
