Laptop, because you're a globe-trotting trend-setter. A millionaire playboy who uses his Kodak digital camera to take photos of all his plushie parties, all the while dressed in his otter costume. Even while yiffing with the other members, you need to know that your laptop is safe. So you've got anti-viral protection, because the laptop is connected to the 'net ALL the time. This is necessary to stream the video to your pr0n website, dedicated to the plush fetish.

How'd I do?

Why are there so many weirdos in this world? I'm not saying I'm not one, just posting the question...

PS - at work, I'm rocking 13 sys tray icons.

namzep · « **Reply #17 on:** January 26, 2004, 01:17:57 am »

9 sys tray icons at work (used to be almost twice that number). I, unfortunately, share a PC with several others and, as such, there's all kinds of stuff that shows up in the tray.

LOL, quality

I bloody hate system tray icons. I hate getting a new PC at work, and the tray is filled with crap that does nothing useful, just wasting system resources.

I have 4 atm:

AVG Anti-Virus,
The 2 little computers that say you're connected,
The 'Safely Remove Hardware' thing (this always shows up when my ADSL modem is conected,
ADSL modem control panel thing.

It seems I have to have these (ok bar the virus thing), otherwise I would have zero

SirPoonga · « **Reply #19 on:** January 26, 2004, 10:24:17 pm »

You turn off the two computers thing in your networking properties.

The usb connection thing, you have a usb dsl modem? what's up with that?

OK, I have a confession to make then. I DO like the 2 little computers - you can tell if somethings wrong by looking at them.

Yeah I have a USB modem, it's what British Telecom supply with their broadband package. I quite like it actually - I have it next to my phone (+ therefore broadband) socket.

paigeoliver · « **Reply #22 on:** January 30, 2004, 12:40:54 am »

I don't have any at all. All those little buggers do is eat up system resources.

bionicbadger · « **Reply #23 on:** February 02, 2004, 05:39:42 pm »

Zone Alarm

I only run virus scans manually when I down load something suspect.

0 in win98
start button, no clock, but the bar is hidden most of the time anyways

I did just install XP tonight so no final count on that

Brogner · « **Reply #25 on:** February 04, 2004, 03:46:01 am »

1 or 2 on notebook depending on if the network is hooked up 3 if I'm using dialup. 2 on other computers to keep clutter down. Even with 1 gig of ram on main comp, need as much system resources open.

Am I the only one that does not have a "system tray" ?
