Didn't know there many people like me. Love mine so much. Very faithfull and obedient. Been loyal for two years. Her name's "OLA". I have a power on password for my laptop. Today I think one key didn't function so the password didn't work. I almost went bezerk. When she makes me enough to buy a car I am definitely going to retire her.

wooo what can i say , love is not the word , just ask my girl friend , the only thing that give our relationship problem is my sony vaio fz21 notebook called Abigail , infact i have a feeling she would prefer her rival to be a lady , and not "his damn laptop", i i and with ubuntu i have taken the system to a hieght the hardware manufacturers never envisaged, i have bent it ti my will, i have hacked it and installed 4 operating systems on it , vista,xp,ubuntu linux,and fedora core 8, mehn i can't be without it , its like an extension of my body, i don't club,drink,smoke,i don't even have the time scotting for chicks anymore , just lock me in a room with a good internet connection,air conditioner, and good supply of coke ,infact the sit where i use my system has formed the shape of my arse , yeah its that bad,

my laptop!!! it has becaome a case between i and those i cherish so much. the way i devote time to it and dont look at their faces, only gum to my system, crazy but i also can't work comfortably outside my system. Its a buddy and a girlfriend and wife, and hey, if you have a problem with loving computers, think again, i love my computer.

I am very sure, nairaland a place of "some people that take things personal" im expecting attacks

Besides other sys i have used b4 now, my HP pavilion is i've got and I LOVE it so much thats y i got married to it baby. I live, sleep and dine with it and nothing can be compared to it.

The first time i thought of this to myself, i thot that i was existing in another realm with different kind of life different frm others, thank God i have thousands sorry millions of Nigerians that think like me,

My addiction to my laptop is beyond what mouth can express. It has gotten to an extent that i don`t sleep again and find it difficult to eat.

Once am glued to my laptop, i think of nothing else,

One girl i was going out with in the past left me and dis was one of the reasons she gave for leaving me.

I no know wetin dey happen again o, pls hep o

My Zinox is my LOVE, different girls have tried takin me away from her, but jeez she always wins.

She is ever ready, she cost less, no complain and to round it up, she gives me MAXIMUM satisfction

cant stay a day without seeing my Zinox.

@hansibone

I dey surprised say ur Zinox never spoil, they have a bad track record.

Sha, as for me, I'm manging with my own Omatek laptop, I don't believe it will survive the year, but hopefully I will either buy an Alienware or steal one (whicheva comes first). I love computers especially other people's own (because mine is not all that great but it tries). At least, it's nice to know that NIgeria has computer companies like Zinox and Omatek.

my kind of guy . madam has the same beef for my computer obsessions.

No, I don't love my computer. It's merely a tool, a means to an end.

If it went bust, I'll either get it fixed, or if not repairable, stick it in the garbage, and get a new one.

@ ice_zik

men my Zinox no fit spoil, i mean she no fit die. i've bent all d rules on computing wit her. infact i av hacked win XP 2 d fullest. it now boots lik only God knows (HANSIBONES operating system).

As for me and myself I would love my PC, dt is a standard, and as for those who don't love their systems they have a problem adapting.

To me right now, my lappy is like my first child

hey Hayo long time was at ur school couple of weeks ago , how are u doing , anyway i lost ur number and i would appreciate if u can txt me with it again , 08022982697

i'm addicted to my laptop, ADDICTED dats the word and my wife just can't
stand it especially when i'm off duty though she's still patient and understanding and i love her
the more

When i'm on my PC, nothing counts - even hunger! I'm in love with it LOL!

My laptop is my best buddie. . . . .Nothing can come between I and my advent. . . I love you so much and will do anything for you, Skip food, stop watching tv, stay indoors and so much more

@hansibone
the day that zinox lappy will do u strong thing; i forsee you going in for a divorce

Yesterday madam and i quarelled over my obsession with my lappie;
we had a date and my lappie came in before her and took me on a jolly ride to ,

I love my lap top. I felt like crying when my first laptop crashed, I didn't throw it away, it's still in my achives. I learnt a lot with it, it practically thought me all the computer knowledge I have today.
My new lappy is my companion and *friend*. I enjoy working with it and I can stay on it all week long without feeling bored.

you have a major point there. . .theres a dead ibm in the house somewher and my old toshiba( which my wife now uses has reverted to guniea pig for all the cracks/keygens/patches/dodgy software downloads before deployment to my current machine.


i can't say i love my computer(there's alwayts a better model out there), but i definetely love using it. i am constantly searching for ways to improve/augument its performance, and the performance of applications i use.

i will always try something, just to see if it will enhance my computing experience.



a few trips down the lane

i have begun downloading albumart from albumart.org, so when music plays in winamp, the artist's image appears in the skin.imagine downloading two hundred jpgs, having to rename each to folder before putting into the artist folder. lupas rename to the rescue. using a two pane explorer replacement, i simply copy the jpgs to each folder, then rename all at once using lupas rename- which in my opinion is the best file and folder renamer tool out there. i was using SCR, migrated to Pfrank, but i couldn't get the performance i wanted- so i took a visit to nonags .com, (an ultra cool freeware site, and found lupas rename there)


i have this excel addin password.xla. what this does is it breaks the protections of protected worksheets in excel. in my old system, it worked with excel 2003, and with 2007. in my current system it refused to run in excel 2007 - something to do with the vba project( apparently irt was written in an excel 5.0 workbook) and excel 2007 has no backwards compatibilty. what did i do - i installed excel xp as a standalone app, alonside office 2007. then configured password.xla to run in excel.bad idea. it completely fked up my excel installation. i uninstalled excel xp. but excel 2007 was fked. all attempts to repair the installation failed.this was actually the last straw that made me get rid of vista.

now 2 months later, i suddenly decide to try again. i figure that i can maybe decompile password.xla, and save it as a macro. unfortunatley, its protected, but what do you know- i find a diff app.vba decompiler, which decompiles and recompiles excel addins to formats compliant with the existing version. i used the app and voila! my password.xla is running on excel 2007

yesterday, i downloaded several ruby scripts to use as sketchup plugins. if u use sketchup, you will find that some plugins really improve your work.of course, the trouble with plugins(just like lsps ) in autocad is that it is best you install them one by one, to ensure none will cause problems. with 50 + plugins - beans? so i install all at once ( not complicated in sketchup, just copy them to your plugins folder) i start up sketchup and there are multiple error messages. so i have to start going through them one by one, filtering the plugins. very tedious, but eventually, thery're all fixed) and i got a lot more .i now have a context menu - among other things.

sometimes, tweaks or apps can slow down my system.

everyonce in a while, i get hold of an app that i prefer to start vwith windows. some apps will not do that.eg process explorer, which i use as a taskmanager replacement. one day, i discovered the startup folder in th programs menu. i put a shoortcut to process explore there and voila! process explorer starts with windows. but what do you know, it always starts in a normal window. i'd prefer if it starts invisibly.then one day just recently , i was fooling with a shortcut - there are so many things you can do with shortcuts eg change their icons - when i saw the field run minimized, run maximized, run in normal window.the shortcut was set to run in normal window. i changed this tto run minimized, and voila(again) process explorer now starts with mindows invisibly. the list of tweaks can go on and on. . .

just a minute a go i installed an autocad addin drawing cleanup utility. it refused to run- i couldn't fu=igure out why - then i realized - it's altered some system variables, and thus i need to restart windows to run it. i did that and presto new tool to (hopefully) improve my work

its funny, there's alm ost nothing that u can't get from the net. if you suddenly decide that your system tray is too crowded, for instance, you can just googlr tweak stystem tray, and find an app that can hide objects in the tray.

my 'computer' is constantly changing

this is my current config

2.0ghz core 2 duo
2gb ram( ni actually wanted to upgrade to 3gb - i'd assumed the laptop came with 4 dimm slots buts its just two and 2gb ram doesn't appear to be locally available
hard drive
160gb - internal
80gb external (portable) - for all the installers files of my software(games, applications, utilities, desktop bling bling, multimedia applications
120gb external (portable) - for all my media - music, videos, professional literature, islamic media
320 gb external (desktop) - as a backup( that stays at home) all my files and legacy versions of my software ( eg autocad 2006, 2007,inventor 10, 11 ) are backed up to this .
256mb video card (njvidia quadro)

these days i somtiems wish i had bought the laptop with a 4ogb drive,512mb ram, with the processor and videocard maxed out(512mb 3500 card, 2.4ghz processor) i could have bought a sata hard drive and 2gb of ram at a cheaper price and installed those myseld .oh well - buyer's remorse

zinox is zinox I don't believe in their systems. Go to their website and try to download drivers and see what ull see

@mmonwuba

well i got my own drivers wit ease, dont know how u are geting urs as a problem. i av fomatted and tweaked my pc and XP to only God knows, i pray Bill Gates no catch me, because he go sue me go court.

but d deal is dat its only my ZINOX dat gives me d full priviledge of BLOWIN up thins

if u are avin problems geting ur driver, here is a solution.

install nero 6, run system info, u would get a full info and all ur hardware on ur pc, wit dat just go online and den search 4 ur diver, babu

Your are my own personal person,simply cos your talking my mind.
PC has a special spirit. And there is is what we call PC-addiction.
In fact as for me once am working on my PC,i forget food.
And i can be on for 28hours non stop.
Thanks!

I love the shape of my laptop and all the physical attributes, but i dont like the fact that it is Windows vista, it drives me nuts

wow! menh!,

you can't operate my system without me being your mentor

I have changed almost everything, it only answers my finger press and not that of anyone,


And i have got so much on it that when am on a another sys. i feel uncomfortable using it,

Same with ma phone ,

As a co-laptop lover, I'll share some technical info which I'm sure most of you have already.

Well, Mine is my second girlfriend. The only way to please my first gf is to download a hoard of Nigerian Home videos for her viewing pleasure. Only then will peace reign between the two of em!

this is wat happens when i stay on my computer

Of course i love my computer but currently i dn't know what is wrong with it, i just downloaded it's video drivers and i need to run it but couldn't find "run" on my start menu. Please can soomeone tell me what could be the cause?

I don't love it, im just happy i have it

You just read my mind. I 'm happy b'cos it solves multiple problems for me.
I protect it b'cos i spent good dough to buy it.
Frankly speaking, most of the time, I leave the office without my lappy.
