When my this computer doesn't work and has some hardware problems, then I will consider to buy a new one. Although nowadays the computer is quite less expensive than before, but I don't want to waste my money and I want to do something for the environment. My computer at home works well, maybe it's a little bit slow today. If I decide to buy a new computer, at least I have to give this computer to someone else. I don't want to throw it as a trash. It's just too waste.

I didn't buy computer. I hired the computer. There are lot of advantages in hiring computer. I hired computer to earn money from internet. I spend about Rs.3000 per month for the hire of computer, internet connection and energy charges. I earn about six to seven hundred dollars a month. Nice returns.

I was told that I need a homepage for my business and an email address. So I got a webmaster who built a fancy homepage and a computer so I could communicate with my customers an collegues via internet. I also do some bookkeeping with it. My computer is for business purposes. Surfing or participating here at mylot is just for fun in my spare time.

Hello Coolgeth,
Please don't laugh at me, okay! I am going to tell you my reason for buying a computer 5 years ago. I was window shopping at a shopping mall and went from one end to another end, from one level to another level until I reached a computer shop. I saw this desktop and was amazed with the features (in fact I don't know anything technically about computer!) like those big gigabytes, cd burner, bigger monitor and blah blah blah... (sound very stupid to me now!) that I bought the computer on the spot by swiping my plastic card!
Well, as you can see now...there is no concrete reason for me to buy the desktop and mind you, I was cheated too. They didn't install the MS Office and MS XP for me!
Oh, your topic made me think of it and get a bit angry now ! LOL.

i got my first computer about 9 years ago. i d bought for studies (to go through encyclopedias to help with my school work) and entertainment purpose only. it was not until after a year that i had started to use to the internet and that because my brother had shifted to canada.
I bought a new and a faster computer a couple of years ago cuz i spent most of my time on computer now and felt the need for a faster machine. now that i m a university student, the internet helps me a lot with my studies. plus i need it for my computer programming assignments. and im also alot into net surfing and gaming now.

I bought my computer initially to help in my studies esp. computer courses that i had joined. It is quite helpful as you can practise what you leared at home. Now i use it for entertainment, to surf the net to find more informationr egarding work, to make few bucks like on mylot where i have a blast, and also to chat and make new friends and connect with old friends. Cheers:)

I bought my computer to get out of the 'stone age' LOL, and be able to be like 'normal folk' as just about everyone has a computer nowadays. That was 5 years ago. Now I use it to keep in touch with family and friends as well as surf the net and of course mylot!

I brought for many reasons for earning online, for gamming, for email and entertainment.
Many people are now buying for many other reasons like work, projects, education,etc.
