Uses for computers
People use their computers for lots of different things. Some people write. Some do email. Some use insanely expensive programs to manage the entire revenue stream for Fortune 500 companies. I use mine as a space heater. That's right: the heat my computer gives off effectively raises the temperature in my apartment by at least a good 10 degrees over the outside air. The current temperature outside is about 65. I swear it's at least 75 in here.
yeah whenever its chilly in my house I always goto the room where my old giant computer runs 24 hours, its so nice a warm and I think it cleans the air a little to.

It sounds like it is time for a new computer. :)

Dude, my computer is fine. Athlon 2600+ w/a brand new MSI mainboard and SATA RAID. It's supposed to run about 90 degrees. That's normal. You ever put a laptop on your thighs? It's damn hot.
My computer is custom built by me, and overall, a lot cheaper than anything I could have bought from an OEM. I've spent maybe $300 a year for the past 5 years and have had an almost new computer the whole time. You drop $1200 on a new computer, Mac or PC, and it's obsolete immediately, and to keep the same average you have to wait another 4 years while your computer slowly grinds to a halt. No thanks.
More to the point, I am not only broke, but my net worth is currently a lot less than zero dollars. The longer I spend here the farther below zero it gets.
