I'm still using the same (and first) CD player I bought over 20 years ago.
Really? My first CD player skipped like a mofo. Eventually it got stolen and I got a much better one. Now I import everything into iTunes, so I never use a CD player.
Love makes you do the wacky.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't remember when I first got a CD player, but I was definitely still buying casettes in 1988. Nowadays everything is electronic.

Interesting. Is that a feature of Windows 7? It tells you what's the slowest part of your 'puter?
It started in Vista. I think the idea is to give create a number than can be used to see if your computer is up to piece of software, but I don't know that anyone uses it. It rates CPU, Memory, Video, and Hard Drive and gives your computer the rating of the slowest part.
It's in the properties of "My Computer"

Really?
It's a Phillips and it's never done me wrong. I also mostly use iTunes, so it's gotten a lot less use the past few years.

If I ever upgrade from XP, I'll check it out.

Windows 7 has worked really well for me, but I'm a firm believer in not upgrading unless there's a need or you just like new stuff.

Yeah, I'll wait until Adobe or Digidesign start releasing updates that are optimized for it.

Here is the info on the Windows Experience Index
The scale goes higher in Windows 7, but this is the basic idea.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I've got a few Google Wave invites, if anyone's interested.
