Have four boxes - each a pentuim class above the other.

1-Graphics design - web and logo. mostly B&W to have done up on CNC.
2- upgrades /repair/ rebuilds opsys - & hardware
3 internet/email
4- Game - UT - never played before now - takes the pressure off after a week of being really geeky inside a box.
5 eccp run 24/7

I don't work with applications much - I do the support for nonsequetor - she is great at working aplications - and I make the behind the scenes stuff work for her. Makes for a very happy relationship - wiz
