At the moment, it has 347 movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to back up a handful of computers in this household. Now, run along. Your mommy is looking for you. Why do you have 347 movies on your "home server"? Why don't you use the iCloud or some other cloud product? Pirated movies? I think it is worse than that, content of a subject matter. I admit to having a large collection of actual Sarah Palin video clips in my "Humor" folder. Are you having trouble getting it up? Don't you remember a number of years ago Harry complained about only seeing penis pills advertisements when he surfed the Internet. When it was pointed out to Harry that he was the recipient of targeted advertising based upon his surfing history he stopped telling us about the ads he is presented with. |

My current Apple desktop has an Intel i7 CPU and seems more than fast enough for what I do with it, which is writing for $$$, emails, web surfing, et cetera. I could sell it for a good price right now and buy the latest Apple desktop, and it would be faster, I suppose, but so what? My laptop is now four years old. It's certainly more than adequate for the use to which I put it, although I am thinking of selling it - it'll still fetch around $750 - and getting the new iPad. I don't feel "confined" by Apple's architecture. I "jailbroke" my iPhone 4s about a month ago so I could use some non-App store apps I like.

I do have 3 running laptops, One is my weather server among other things just because it is cheap to run and I always take a laptop on vacation. The Dell I like has S-video out and most new hotel TVs have either S-video or VGA inputs so I can stream, movies and play our tunes in the room. It is also handy for looking at our vacation pictures. I can roll them out of the camera, edit them and upload to my web site on the road. I use my home server to stream movies and music to my laptop and iPhone, and, if I get one, an iPad. You have a home server? Any PC can do that... Another non-intellectually based, totally devoid of meaningful content post from "Earl." Yawn. Yes, Earl, I know. But I'm not using a PC as a server. I'm using a server as a home server. I did use an HP WHS for a few years, but I sold that one and got a server from Synology. At the moment, it has 347 movies on it, among other things, and it is also used to back up a handful of computers in this household. Now, run along. Your mommy is looking for you. Why do you have 347 movies on your "home server"? Why don't you use the iCloud or some other cloud product? Pirated movies? I think it is worse than that, content of a subject matter. I admit to having a large collection of actual Sarah Palin video clips in my "Humor" folder. Are you having trouble getting it up? Don't you remember a number of years ago Harry complained about only seeing penis pills advertisements when he surfed the Internet. When it was pointed out to Harry that he was the recipient of targeted advertising based upon his surfing history he stopped telling us about the ads he is presented with. I remember that clearly... He was getting sex toys too... I hear your dick isn't long enough to *be* a sex toy... Is that from comparisons of your collection of 347 movies? Well, he's right... But it's disturbing to wonder how he knows that.. I guess Harry really is the most proficient stalker here. Most prolific too. |
