Seriously, my had drive's a 6gig Packard Bell dinosaur that's almost always full, shared between three people, one of which (my aunt) thinks she's a computer specialist but really knows jack squat. The other's my younger brother who luckily isn't an ass and has the sanity not to screw with any of my stuff as long as I have the courtesy to do the same.
The monitor has some weird-ass quirk so most of the time everything's got a yellow/green tint to it due to some loose wiring inside but every once in a great while the color turns back to normal for a split second. (Usually while I'm working on the word processor so the stark white blinds me for a few minutes.) This is my second monitor too, the first crapped out on me after we moved, I think the power cord got pinched and it's turn itself on or off at inopportune times for months until I bought the current one I have from my asshole cousin who by the way thinks that entitles her the right to use it and my hard drive when she'd a complete dumbass. She opened an e-mail that had a virus on it after she had been warned about which is why her hard drive is screwed and I was able to buy the monitor off her.
If it weren’t for the zip drive I wouldn't even have the ability to run anything from how much is on the damn thing, a good 2/3 I admit is internet porn and the rest of which is half completed projects I'll probably never get around to finishing. Which reminds me I need more zip disks too...
As for my printer it's an old cannon bubble-jet that I'm lucky if I can even find the cartridges for anymore.
The first thing on my priorities list as soon as I get a job is to save up for something new, most likely a notebook of somesort... When the hell did they decide to stop calling them laptops? Apparently I missed that meeting.
I guess this is the year for all my electronics to be replaced since my PS2 crapped out on my just before New Years and my aunt recently got my brother a new Xbox since the old one only worked about half the time.
And get, this two of the TV's in our house have recessed power buttons on both the remote and the TV itself so we had to but new universal remotes just to turn the damn things on. One of them is a TV/VCR combo that loves to eat tapes so we've got a different VCR hooked up to it (and still some of the idiots I live with put tapes in the old one until I put packing tape over it so they couldn't) and the other has no AV connector ports so we have to use the old coax setup on it. Well it could be worse; they could be the really old TVs that needed screwdrivers and prongs to hook anything up.
