Talk about your computer

Your scratch OS, your mac, your windows, your program. Anything like that - Just don't fight, friendly, agressive, discussions are welcome.  big_smile

My windows VISTA(ew) is amazingly ugly. I can't import music to Scratch, or most other programs. My print screen button doesn't work. And other things. But I love the art I draw on it, how it's mine, and everything. I want to get a netbook, and my mom can have the laptop, but I can't give up my laptop. But I CAN - maybe, use tons of USBs. XD

Re: Talk about your computer

I run Ubuntu Linux! It works great for the most part - although there is still some trouble recording things in Scratch, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.

Ubuntu eh? It rings a bell, but I'm not sure. What is it like? Oh yeah - I can't get my Audacity files into .MP3 files. I'm probably get a Windows 7, it seems great. NUUU I'll never get a Mac for one reason, GUESS.

Macs are awesome.

I have a Leopard OS X Mac. It's one of the nicest looking computers. It is a flat and wide screen, with a Ebony black border and little apple. ^_^ No hunking box to store information, it's all compact. The graphics show MUCH better on my Mac than my friend's Windows. It can carry a lot of memory, and everything is designed beautifully. It has support for apps.....the only bad thing is it can quit unexpectedly sometimes, and although it's usually fast, it can be slow too. I love my Mac!

Re: Talk about your computer

I just ordered this laptop about a week ago

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5254389&CatId=4935

All the computers right now can't run any games which makes me sad  sad

On a less related note, don't get a mac unless you want it because of specific features. Examples would be if you want to make iphone apps, or create multimedia. If you want reliability, load up linux on your pc instead of windows. Mac's are like a fashion accessory, they cost more than pcs of the same price but they are prettier.

Re: Talk about your computer

The first computer I had was Windows 95. It had Kb of RAM and Kb of hard drive. My favorite game was Bumpy. My newer computer doesn't have a floppy drive so I can't play it  sad  (Bumpy is a game where you are this round thing and you have to get all the food in a level without dieing. more infomation here) That computer is long gone now. ( I should of taken the gold out of it. Never mind distroying of all data was fun) Well right now I'm using XP with 1GB of RAM and a 256MB graphics card which I'm distroying just trying to play games.

You use XP? In that case:

In some Text-Based Game about favorite colors you said:

Olive green

And the color selection for different things in XP:

So... why is olive green in the few choices for colors?  tongue

There's more then those colours. If you go back to classic style you can customise everything. I'm not sure how many people know this but you can customise the background of every folder so it isn't just white. You can add pictures to the background too.

In that selection thing, there are only three colors: Default blue, olive green, and silver.
