I look for user friendliness and happiness first, then speed.

Games, internet software, some graphics programs and word processing.

Mostly for internet, though also for writing, keeping information, and Art
as well.

Yeah,  I know it's not the most current, but is upgradable, and it does
what I want here at home for now.

Easy, a Mac.  I just love the way they work.  I don't find that I need a
CLI to do the things I need to do.

I'm not a total computer fanatic, therefore, as long as it works and does
what I want it to, I'm happy.

I don't hate PC's,  I just like the Mac interface better.  I also like the
way Apple's computers look and feel.
