ATTAK Z Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 The 'desk' thread has got onto computers which is a vast topic I know. I hope this topic which I am putting up for discussion is not old hat but I'm interested to know what people use at work and at home. Present equipment, operating system and browser: Work - Samsung K20 laptop running Windows XP - Windows Explorer Home - 20" iMac running OS X - Firefox Dream machine: MacBook Pro (high spec of course) What have you got and desire?
