Cobbled together with random stuff from my hardware closet:
Pentium III 450 MHz
384 MB PC100 RAM
Fujitsu 40 GB HDD
Creative SoundBlaster AWE64
3dFX Interactive Banshee video card w/ 16 MB RAM
ViewSonic E70f monitor
Used as my main computer, with a 1.8 GHz Core2Duo laptop running Vista to pick up the slack where this computer fails (e.g., embedded flash, GPS mapping). Mainly used for email, Internet browsing, watching videos (broken for now
), and image/document editing with Gimp and OpenOffice. First set up when 4.3 came out, and was my first time working with a Unix-like OS outside of playing with some really, really old Apples way back in grades 4 and 5 (were those based on Unix back then, or just after the NeXTStep acquisition?).
