mine was a swap
I painted an original canvass in exchange for this machine.
My previous one was passed onto me when a friend upgraded, sadly the hard drive imploded last year

Used a computer for the first time a mere 10 yrs ago while dossing on a friends floor after all my belongings went up in flames after a bus fire, he taught me how to do email etc, then after I finally settled down into my own flat my first ever computer was a surprise gift from some internet friends who had a whipround to keep me online.
Iam an unashamed luddite
90% of modern technology is a mystery to me.
I can survive in a forest with nothing more than a knitting needle and a paper bag.
Hand me a mobile phone or a video game and I'll gawp like a mong

i know the feeling :D
until 3 years ago, i didn't even know how to switch a computer on! the same person who gave me my computer has allowed his gamecube to live in my house for about 2 years. it's his fault i'm hooked on zelda! if anything goes wrong with my telly/video/dvd/computer, i won't touch it, i just whine to him until he fixes it for me!
i think he's getting a bit pissed off with me by now ;)
