…cts. My Apple laptop is still going strong after ten years (I burned through a PC one before that in about three) and my office computer is a c.8 year old 28" iMac and that’s going strong, so for all the talk of aesthetics, they’re durable enough fuckers that don’t tend to get bothered by viruses etc.

I’m in agreement with the iMac here. No base. No cables. Just plug it in with one wire and no mess. Wireless keyboard and mouse. Tidy job for the kitchen.

Or the Microsoft stand alone equivalent.

Go the whole hog here and get one of the 27inch iMacs if that’s what herself wants.

No ifs no buts.

Probably thunderbolt

A cheap laptop for Football Manager 2020 and probably nothing else…any suggestions?

I’m selling an Acer laptop for €300.

FireWire.

[Batigol]

Was it your primary moderation device?

[anon78624367]

Still in original packaging

@flattythehurdler can you use a Mac? I find them a pure cunt, probably just because I’ve been programmed to use Microsoft for so long.

Apple is about twice the price for half the product. It’ll look nice though

@Julio_Geordio

can you use a Mac?

Irrelevant when it comes to people who “need” a mac.

[anon78624367]

Sure all the GUI based operating systems are like fisher price toys nowadays.

Give me a terminal

I agree, unless yourself or the wife are familiar with one already I wouldn’t bother. It’ll never be used.

It’s meant to be a kitchen ornament, to accompany that big dildo sculpture they have there

[TheBlackSpot]

@caulifloweredneanderthal

You’d probably need something like the white adaptor in pic below

Aye but don’t buy a Chinese one

Oh! @flattythehurdler post up a picture of that sculpture till I have a look at it.

[anon78624367]

Already advised.

[flattythehurdler]

@habanerocat

Or the Microsoft stand alone equivalent.

That yoke looks a good job.
What do ye reckon.
Kids use Microsoft and I’ve just shown her that and she thinks it looks ok ?
Hardy enough??

[flattythehurdler]

@habanerocat

Or the Microsoft stand alone equivalent.

We have a winner.
Thanks mate.
Is this a good buy would ye reckon?
Herself likes the look of it anyway.
Would it run off WiFi ??

[anon78624367]

Go into a shop, ask the assistant the last question and watch his eyes light up.

The equivalent of asking a car salesman would it run off petrol

[flattythehurdler]

Yes or no will suffice mate. The internet box is in another room miles away. A cable isn’t an option.
