I've got a good Asus G73, dual booting Windows 7 and Mac OS X Lion. And if I had the room on my desk, I'd be bringing a 3Ghz Core 2 Quad desktop with the same setup here. I'm at no shortage of money or practicality (except to drop 2k$ on a MacBook Pro with the specs I need to do what I want).
But I like my more 'vintage' computers. They run nicer, and still do all I need. I've used the iMac since I got it in 2010, the PowerMac and Pismo since I got them in early 2011, and the Titanium since I got it just earlier this year. Every single one has been used and still is being used. Currently in the process of getting what I need to make the 180 more useful (though I've already used it for typing notes as well). Main thing is that I like nicer keyboards, and the Pismo and 180 have better keyboards, and I dont' have room on my desk for a full sized one, else I'd grab one from home. I'm hoping I can fix that next semester, but oi, whats it to you?
Vintage computing has always been exciting and practical, and I just so happen to be able to get it for a cheaper price. I mean, my name is even a reference to a 2600 I got in 2006. Ever since that, I've been a very older styled person.
And honestly, 'get it together'? I had some really important stuff on that computer, not just study guides, papers, and geeky vintageness. I had a lot of my music library, camera back ups, some video stuff that I directly captured. I'm glad I'm able to retrieve that. For a moment I didn't think I could. That's quite frightening, honestly. If I had the space, I'd just have all my hard drives here, my desktops here, and rely on one notebook that just gets backed up constantly as not to lose anything. I don't, so I spread jobs and stuff across different computers that I happen to have with me.
