Time for you and your Dad to whip out the tape measure and see who is the real man of the house.

So do my parents.

I might be able to afford a new computer in March though. My computer is over 2 years old :(

Well by specs alone yours should be faster. But you said their's feels faster so what I'd suggest is time for a clean install of Windows on yours, then let me know whose feels faster! :)

How about a clean install of Mandrake (not trying to start anything - just referring to that 'quick' feeling).

Bah. My little cousin convinced her parents (who know zero about computers or if she really even needs one) to buy her one. Another one of my cousins went shopping with them. Now she has some HP 2+ Ghz Celeron with a 17" LCD. Did I mention they live in government subsidized housing and she's still in elementary school. Talk about friggin' wasteful!!
