pinksoda @pinksoda (113) • Philippines 17 Jan 08

Seldom I go check the internet, my email in the cafe. I don't personally own a computer - but do you? How many of you are everyday users on a computer? Do you have a laptop or desktop? Most of time people here use a desktop - we...

What's your impression to Apple products?

youless @youless (112586) • Guangzhou, China 17 Jan 08

In my impression, Apple products are very high-tech and they have a very nice design all the time. They have their own system. The shape, design, weight etc. are very good. However, it's also very expensive. Lately it has a new...

cbakhru I do not like Apple products because of their lack of accessibility to the blind. If this weren't a problem I'd probably have a lot more positive things to say about them though.

Some of my Friends have so many Friends...

awonderfullife @awonderfullife (2893) • United States 18 Jan 08

I'm wondering what's the point of having hundreds of friends on Mylot, if they never respond to any of your discussions. With so many Friends, my discussions would get lost in the shuffle. I currently have 37 Friends (too many, in...

cbakhru I agree with you. Same thing goes for Myspace and other sites. What's the point of having hundreds of friends if you don't know them that well or even not at all and never communicate with them?

Do you have a mouse for your laptop?

youless @youless (112586) • Guangzhou, China 8 Jan 08

Yes, I need a mouse for my laptop. Although it is OK to be without a mouse, but I still think it is much more convenient to use a mouse.

cbakhru My laptop has a built-in mouse, so I don't see the need for an external one. I don't ever use the mouse anyway since I am blind, LOL.

What Color is Your Mouse?

Dr. Ann @drannhh (15219) • United States 6 Dec 07

Do you use the same password/s everywhere?

RowenaTheWitch @RowenaTheWitch (947) • Italy 18 Jan 08

I use pretty much the same password (with some variants like repeating it or adding numbers) in each email/online account I have. And you?

cbakhru Yes, I use the same password everywhere. It's a really long password with lots of letters and numbers in it. I don't see a problem with this because I never give my password to anybody and don't use my password when other people are around.

cbakhru I love my new Inspiron 1520 from Dell... It's really fast, has 2 GB of memory, Windows Vista, built-in WI-FI, it's a really quiet machine (you only hear the fan if it gets too hot, which is very rare) and a fast processor!

Computer Short-cuts

men82in @men82in (1268) • India 26 Dec 07

I hope most of them use short-cut keys to access the computer. Everyone prefer using keyboard instead of dragging and clicking the mouse. It will definitely increase the speed of your work when you work with the keyboard instead...

cbakhru It depends what kind of keyboard it is. I've had good luck with some and bad luck with others. One thing I have trouble with is getting used to those keyboards they use in Europe. The layout of those is a bit different than the ones we se here in the U.S.

Which do you use more often your enter key or your mouse?

ctrymuziklvr @ctrymuziklvr (11057) • United States 10 Jan 08

cbakhru Yes, I don't need to look at the keyboard in order to type, and I type very fast. It's very convenient. Those who can't do this should practice their typing, and the more you do, the better you'll get at not needing to look down at the keys.
