 Show Me The Dragon
An old 12 inch Ibook laptop, which I got used, is the laptop I presently use, circa 2000. It is 366 megahertz with 192 megs of ram and a 10 gig hard drive. The battery died about 3 years ago, so its not really portable any more unless you take the power cord along :electrical tape on the end of the power cord. I have a 20 gig external harddrive. It is usb 1.0 and 2.0, however the Ibook is only usb 1.0, so transferring files takes forever. It doesn’t have a firewire port.
I currently use my Ibook to create a newsletter for a local artist group called “The Gathering Artists”.
I also use my Ibook to help me zoom in on detail while I do “watercolor portraits”.
I also surf the web with my Ibook.
As you may imagine, a 366mhz machine takes forever to do any of these tasks. I can run photoshop, but it is extremely slow. Youtube is very jerky.
So, as you see, I could really take advantage of the power of the HP Dragon. My son would also love it for the great games he would be able to play. Blu-Ray…Wow. Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor would bring me into the digital age with style.
My son says he will frag you all for free
if he could play “gears of war”.
