So I walked over to my friend's GF's dorm room and whilst there decided to have a look at her computer ...

3.2 ghz P4, 128 mb ATI 9800 Pro, SB Audigy, 512 DDR (eh..), 240 GB HDD, 17 inch LCD... And she doesn't use it for anything but AIM and typing up school papers. It was really depressing to me to see a computer like that that will never be even close to becoming half utilized. :brokenheart: She came to school with that computer and said her father picked up 2 of 'em, one for her sis, and one for her, back in August. My mind was completely blown. He must have spent a good 5-6 grand on computers that his daughters will never, ever, ever get any serious use from ... sigh .. the irony.

Made me sick

Well at least he'll be happy to know that his daughter is getting some serious use by you. (Please tell us you're not a virgin). :D

I've done enough in the female dorms to satiate myself for now, the real reason I looked at her comp was because I was thinking about upgrading my vid card and I knew she spent a pretty penny for her system so I wanted to know what she was packin.. little did I know how underused that system will be.

hmm i dont know if i should laugh at you for going to a female dorm room and complain about computers. that just seems odd!


My father has a setup like that. all he uses his computer for is Email. Thats it. just Email. he has a 3gig with a ATI 9600 and 200gb drive. with a cd burner.

all he ever does is use EMAIL! ahh

That would have been cool.

Slowly replace the vid card with yours, then the sound card...until you have most of her machine. If she complains to you about her computer running slow, offer to replace everything for "free".... ;)

No kidding. I thought it would be something scandalous, like finding some exchange of email between her and some other dude, or nude male porn, etc. what a letdown.

If you're an unethical man, just switch all the components with yours. She won't know. I wouldn't though... I'm too nice. :D
