I live in UK we have government elections every 4 or 5 years. I am happy that they use my tax money for this, in fact I want them to use my money for this if it didnt happen i wouldnt be happy.
My current pc is a Celeron 333 overclocked to 400 or so. Its got 512mb ram 40gb hdd has windows xp, and is about 10 years old. Its wicked never crashes, dont like java games too much but works a treat running office 2000 and firefox.
