So... what computer do you use?
Music service?
Music Player?
History of Gaming Consoles?

Gen. Chat Seems a bit slow, so...

Ancient Power Mac G5 (PowerMac7,1) originally Dual 2Ghz, 4.5G 533Mhz DDR2 RAM, now a frankenstein from the remains of three: Dual 2.5, 7G Ram, liquid cooling (back when apple had no clue, the pumps loud)
Two Hard Drives, 160 & 320, with a 500Gb FW800 External. 1920x1200, 23'' Cinema Display.

iTunes/Torrent.
Old Silver 80Gb iPod Classic

PS2 and 2 PS3's.
I know, I missed out on generations of gaming.

My computer's a 3GHz Core 2 Duo Wolfdale, 2GB of RAM (thinking of upgrading that this christmas), 9600GT graphics card. 640GB HDD at the moment, thinking of adding a second to help hold my growing blu-ray collection (the complete series of BSG is pretty big on blu-ray). 22" 1680*1050 screen. Primary OS is Kubuntu, though I have a WinXP partition for modern games that won't run in Wine.
I also have an Eee 701 netbook, which is used for the odd moments I need a portable computer. I don't use it that much these days; I have an HTC Dream (aka G1) which serves most of my portable computing needs.

My music is almost exclusively on CD.

My music player of choice is Amarok.

The only gaming console I've ever owned is a 360, which I use for Rock Band.

Hmm. This must have been recent...

I don't know enough about my family's computer...

Music: A lot is from disks. But a fair bits are from my sister's choices, a lot of small singles, and Nightwish songs notably are from Limewire. A growing amount are from friends.

Games: Don't worry Dansariki, I'm worse off; I have a Xbox, and haven't bought a new game in a while...

Ah.
I suck at those games.
Eventually, I'm going to get one, not leave the house for three days, and emerge an admirable foe.

I don't think its possible to describe my computer. Anyway, looking at Sent's description, I would rather not try.
Music- I get songs from my friends' cellphones (they do the downloading job-I am so lazy). I transfer it to mine by blue-tooth & listen to it. There is a music system at home, but since everyone's taste in music is different (my sister likes fast-paced songs or rock music, I like slower ones, my mom likes classical ones & bhajans & my dad doesn't listen to any), we seldom use it. I sometimes listen to songs on you tube but it's irritating.
Na, I don't play computer games unless you count chess & solitaire.

<@Ximenez> Sentynel: But i have a life? No. Qed.
PC: Don't know don't care, plays L4D2 which is all that matters :P

Music: Ipod Nano Chromatic

History of game consoles: hmmmm, Nes, Dreamcast, Nintendo 64,Playstation,PS1, PS2, Xbox , Gamecube, 360 (My older brother is has been a tester since I was small)
Mindi Jackson , I think I'm in love. Now I just need to get famous.

My computer is uh... an HP from 2006, don't know too much about it. So long as it works I don't much care.

Music I usually just copy from other people's CD's. If anyone knows of a good internet service with free music, I'm open to suggestions.

My mp3 is an old RCA Lyra that only holds about 250 songs and will periodically either fail to charge or to work altogether. One day, when I have money (ie. not anytime soon) I will buy a not crappy one.

We have a N64, Xbox and a Wii. They are rarely used.
