05/23/07		 I'm using curl, make you happy?

Almost forgot, OS=!Winblows

Do you also want processor, ram, video card, mobo, etc?

05/23/07		 I think he visits too many of those gaming forums where everyone's signature is a mile long with all their system specs so they can show off how cutting edge they are. It makes any forum with those signatures unreadable. I like IdeaStorm's minimalist approach so no don't vote for more cruft, I'd put this up there with adding blloatware to my computer, don't add bloatware to my forum.

05/23/07		 For what? So that jakerivers knows what my computer is running?
jervis961
05/23/07		 Well here's my info.

Browser

OS

jakerivers
05/23/07		 ouch! I just thought it would be cool to see what people are using.
jorge
05/23/07		 Hey where's your ears jervis961? Or do you not listen :)
jervis961

jakerivers
05/23/07		 I just thought it would be cool , I did not ask for ip address, location or a portscan.

05/23/07		 We're just not that type of forum users.
jervis961
05/23/07		 I'll play along. I use IE7 and SeaMonkey for browsers and Vista Premium is my OS.
jervis961
05/23/07		 Jake why didn't you post what you use????
jorge
05/23/07		 I'm using a Cray Super Computer with PuppyLinux, I don't have a video card so I'm stuck to reading html code fly across the screen, luckily control-s and q work!
jakerivers
05/23/07		 It depends on what machine I am on. I use opera, Mozilla firefox, internet explorer 6 & 7 , netscape, Konqueror, ubrowser, and now I will try out seamonkey to see if I like it.

05/23/07		 Forgot, still using curl for browsing.
jakerivers
05/23/07		 ubrowser is just for fun as the 3d cube gets old after a while.

05/23/07		 I bet you that Dell is taking a look at what browsers and os people are using that visit their sites. I would keep track if I was Dell. It could play a roll in helping to decided what is offered on new machines.

05/23/07		 Sorry there jakerivers, you have not met the plethora of anti-tracking tools available for us un-trackable types.
