How can you not understand those two questions?
4. How often do you get a new computer or update it (new hard drive/monitor/memory whatever)
5. What would you like to replace on your computer (bigger hard drive, better memory, faster graphics card etc)...
AAAAAAAnyway.....
1. What sort of computer do you own (Laptop/Tablet/Desktop etc/Brand/specs if you want/general description)?
AMD Phenom II XS 2.8 GHz, 8 GB RAM desktop, Windows 10
2. How long, roughly, have you had some sort of a computer?
I'd say since about 1985, which would make it what, over 30 years? The very first computer I got had a CGA monitor (FOUR vibrant colours!) and no hard disk, in fact only a five-and-a-quarter inch floppy disk! Think it was an Amstrad.
3. What do you use your computer for, mostly?
Building walls of text. Also writing (lots of writing duh), research, making TV compilations for Karen to watch, Soulseek, Torrenting, Kindle reading, downloading porn I mean music, some small graphic stuff, Spotify and generally making a nuisance of myself in Cyberspace
4. How often, if at all, do you upgrade/replace your system?
Not as often as I used to. Maybe every 5 years or so.
5. If you had the money, what's one thing you would replace on your computer?
Hard to say. I would say disk space, as I always need disk space, but these days I just buy external drives, so I can't really consider that replacing anything. I reckon the RAM I have (8 gig) is about as good as Windows can work with so yeah, probably not much if anything really.
6. Roughly, how many hours a day do you spend staring at that screen?
Maybe 8 spread over the day
Over here, mate! Another round for this table...
7. Name three applications you really can't do without on your computer?
OpenOffice, Dropbox and Paint.NET
8. What was the first ever operating system you used?
MS DOS 5.0
9. Generally, do you buy from a shop/seller or build yourself?
I can't build systems. I used to have friends who would build them if I got the parts, but they were all inexplicably abducted by aliens on the very same day. At least, that's what I was told, and rumours that they were seen in a pub the next day discussing how great it was not to have to build PCs for that wanker anymore have never been proven. So yeah, I just buy a new one now.
10. What is, in your opinion, the most useless piece of software on your computer?
Cortana. I mean, who the **** wants to talk to their computer? Also Windows 10 search sucks a big one. Give me Win 7 back please.
11. What was the most valuable (to you) data wiped from your hard disk, either by a sudden crash, virus or power failure, or whatever?
An entire book on the science-fiction series Babylon 5. Worked on it for months, power failure, gone. Never to be recovered.
12. If you could digitise yourself and go into a game, what character would you be?
Why did I even write this question? I don't play computer games...
