Okay..
Well..heres my answers:

1) Its a Dell Dimensions 5100 and its brand new! (I got it for my birthday and
well...its pretty amazing!)

2) Err....i dont really get this question to be honest.. >_< but if you mean as
in what Intel Pentium Processor you use, then i use a Intel Pentium 4
Processor (with double memory! ) lol

3) Well...i think i use Internet Explorer but i dont trust it that much
anymore as it went ballistic on my mums computer and now we use
Mozilla Firefox. I think ill get Mozilla Firefox on my new computer as well
but i do have the choice of Netscape as well...(for all you Netscape users
out there, is it any good?)

4) I use Hotmail and MSN and Yahoo....It takes too long to set up my
Outlook Express so i just forgot about it! lol

5) I have a number of Programs...err..ill only name a few....i use...
------WinnZip
------Windows Media Player
------Real Player
------A number of DVD playing Programs
------Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 (does this go in Multimedia Category?)
------Windows Movie Maker
------Windows Messenger
and a couple more...

6) I simply use Microsoft Word Processor but i need to get it upgraded.

7) At the moment, my trial for Norton Antivirus just expired but im bound
to get that fixed and i heard of this new program...something with 'H' but i
forgot. Apparently, its better than Norton Antivirus.

8) I dont think i use any anti-spyware program(s) at the moment. But if anyone recommends me a good one, ill check it out!
