Ask Diddy!

My apologies if this has been asked before, but I am always curious about people's experiences with technology as time goes by. So with that in mind, what kind of computers have you had during your life? Do you remember their operating systems and specifications?

Do you have a favourite animal?

I believed I've been asked this once before, but ... the monkey! Heehee!

Packard Bell Legend 10CD - DOS & Windows 3.11
1997-2001 (I accidentally ripped the disc tray out while trying to pull out a CD-ROM that was partially sticking out.)

Compaq Presario - Windows 98
1999-2017 (Had internet until it suffered a massive heart attack in 2003, and was then only used for retro gaming.)

DELL Inspiron E1505 - Windows 7
2012-2015 (Motherboard failure)

HP Notebook - Windows 8.1
2015-2019 (Wi-fi card failure)

HP Laptop - Windows 10
2018-present

These are only the computers that I've owned, but not the ones my parents used.

"Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney.

The only one I really liked.

Not my cup of tea, but cool.

How many/what were the types of dishes that were served during your stay at the Fuji Grill?

I had some Japanese chicken, steak and shrimp as my main course, and a very warm soup as an appetizer. It had these tiny things in them, but I'm can't recall what they were.

And previously I hated seafood, but Fuji Grill actually makes good shrimp. For once, I enjoyed it.

Do you consider yourself more of an introvert or an extrovert?

I'm definitely an introvert.

Do you think it is ludicrous how many of today's technology can become "obsolete" in just a matter of a year or less, especially when compared to older technology that had better longevity for the most part?

It's utterly ridiculous. As we speak, all future laptops will be less powerful and have less space, ... and yet they will still be more expensive. In my opinion, laptops are becoming a dying breed, and this is why I want to go back to desktops.
