Technologies
This is my computer setup.
Computers
My main computer is a brand new iMac 20 inch running OS X Leopard. It features 1GB of memory, 250GB of disk space, comes equipped with the latest iLife (featuring iMovie, GarageBand, and iPhoto). Plus, using Bootcamp it is partitioned to have Windows XP Home for my gaming and school needs.
My secondary computer is an old Mac G4 that I used as my main machine until receiving my iMac for Christmas. It is a slow machine but works nicely for surfing the net, chatting, and looking stuff up. It also acts as a backup.
Plus, I have a Dell Inspiron notebook. This is a desktop replacement notebook and therefore not completely portable. However, it lets me test designs from my blog and acts as a tertiary backup. Plus, I can use it to get information while I'm gaming on my iMac and chatting on my G4.
Stereo
When not listening to my iTunes, my iPod Classic, my iPod Nano, or the radio streaming online I use my stereo. It is old and acts wonky so it is mainly good for the radio.
Jonathan's Lair
My room is a typical place to reside when not working, on the campaign trail, or hanging with my fiance or friends. I'm basically in it to sleep, watch DVDs, pop online, and playing my PS2.
