Sheesh, games, games, games....don't you kids got nothing better to do with the comp except to play games?
Its a long time ( prob 10 yrs or more) since pple call me a "kid".....i hear also abit "song"......being a kid is good as least lesser things to worry abt.......
Ah....now I know why you call yourself Teegongkia, meaning Act Blur Kid right?
Now, u make me feel so deprived during my childhood....:cry:
You got no life....;p
Further to that...get use to seeing changes lah...time to abandon the old ways you are use to see around you. In just another 10 yrs you will be seeing also people in their 50s or 60s singing rap songs...from Two Live Crew. heheh See old people so comfortable around IT stuffs unlike now...etc. growing older gets more interest as each generation takes over from the old.
You are right la, but I just cannot fathom people getting obssessed and addicted to games la, especially when you are a parent, and your kids may get carried away and neglect their school work. I guess a little of it is alright, and my son and I do enjoy a game or 2 on the computer, but thank God we get bored easily with these games.
It just seems to me that when people buy a PC nowadays, the very first thing they'd like to know, is whether it "can game or not"? Shouldn't it be for work primarily and the occasional games?
I'm trying to tune myself to the present generation too, otherwise I'll become an old foggy soon....

Gamers are die hard lot who just like to game...whatever the age. Playing with your kid and even playing more then your kid is not difference nor a problem if you can use it to show them that you can still game responsibly, take time off for studying and other leisure stuff too. heh. I have not always been a gamer 24/7 leh...I had took 10 yrs off playing tennis, seasport, golf, mountain biking, partying from one disco to anothe pub,chasing skirts, wine dine and had the time of my life...I am bored with that now...maybe it is the age thing too like you...hehe..to me I want to kick back and get inside my own head and just game when I can afford the time these day. It's what I need man...I am a workaholic the other half of the time heheheh. Singapore is getting boring even for an old guy like me...gaming like simulations stuff are great..and I feel even more crucial as you age now...you got to keep your mind working just like you would your muscle. Anyhoo..that is why I prefer my PCs heheh...I got more options with my games and alot more programs I could choose to use lah when we get back to the topic at hand heheh.. I am thinking of getting a Mac Book Pro...but it would be more a decorative showpiece then work. An overpriced DVD & MP3player? heheh But it will not replace my PCs in my more establised areas of work and interest. Photoshop CS3 and a whole slew of CS3 s/w on my PC works just fine so far for all my design stuff at the office.
Photoshop? I've been using that since Photoshop 1.0 on the Mac in the early 90s, when scanners and dye sublimation printers cost a bomb. These 'toys' were unheard of to the average pc users back then....
hahahah that brought back memories man..... I remember my first Apple the FX..I remember when I bought it to do animation and graphic work and it had graphic cards like NuVista and that time a few hundren mb HDD cost more then a bomb man.. You know how much I fork out to get one unit. The basic unit was SDG$13,500. After I throw in the animation and other graphic s/w it came to about SDG$32,000! *faint* man.
Well I can understand folk like the MAc for ever ever the reason may be but I am a true blue "tweaker" the PC gives me that option alot more then a Mac that was why I sold off my iMac. But well..to each their own...the important thing I guess is that you do USE IT ..ultimately that is the key to pay or investing in a computer.
Even till today, I'll just change my car every 3 yrs, get the car agent to take my old car and replace with it with the same make.
:bigeyes::bigeyes::bigeyes: wahsay! heheh

somebody accidently opened all his applications on his Mac, running at the same time! (check out the Dock!)
