what does 'everyone' have on their computer?!

[Deleted User] · 06/12/05 - 15:28

I was wondering, what are the things that more or less everyone has on their computer?
I'm talking about programmes, downloads, favourite websites etc

I'm presuming msn messenger for a start!
Google Earth seems to be rather popular too
Dont most people have an ebay account nowadays?

Any more?

I use a Mac at home and at work.

On the home one is all sorts of stuff:
MS Office
Adobe Creative Suite
QuarkXpress
A few browsers
Some 3D apps
Some games
Font utilities
CD/DVD extraction, ripping and burning utilities
iLife apps including iTunes, natch
Adium (universal IM app)
Mail (email)
Flightcheck Pro (checks work for press)
Backup apps
Flash...

...and those are the ones I can just remember of the top of my head.

Make sure you've got a very good PC with plenty of video memory before you run it.

I have a small pink sticky bug thingy which is the first pressie the OH bought me

James Harland · 06/12/05 - 15:55

My Sony Ericsson W800i shipping sticker adorns the right side of my 2nd monitor at work.

As for stuff everyone actually has on their PC, the first things I would say are:

Windows XP
Winamp
Some version of MS Office/Word
MSN Messenger
Adobe Photoshop (Funny considering it costs £££ yet everyone seems to have it nowadays :rolleyes: )
Adobe [Acrobat] Reader
And i'm sure a lot of people have some form of Spyware on their PC

Things everyone should have on their PC:
Google Earth & Desktop
Mozilla Firefox (Admit it!)
If you dont want to pay for Anti virus: Grisoft AVG Free Edition

My cat keeps trying to get onto the computer (perhaps he's ordering some Christmas pressies). Down, Shep.
