Mum: PC Specs: Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD Turion x64 x2, 2.5GB RAM, 160GB hard drive (less than 10GB left on it, hah), and some onboard graphics. Additional info: Her laptop is about 3/4 years old now, wants to get a new one, lacks money. Level of computer knowledge: Pretty low, knows how to navigate Office 2007 at least, unlike some people in my diploma >.> Software: Solitaire, Minesweeper, Firefox (was instructed to always use Firefox for internet, never IE) Dad: PC Specs: Not entirely sure since its a work laptop, and ive never poked around in it, I do think its a Core 2 Duo though, and he's always shouting at how slow it is. Additional Info: Work Laptop, also has an iPad Level of computer knowledge: Quite high, he was the family IT support guy for many years until I overtook him (He also knows a bit of basic which surprised the hell out of me) Software: Office '03, Firefox, probably some other stuff. Mum generally asks for help with problems instead of attempting to do it herself so that she doesnt fuck it up further. It's generally easy to fix though. Never have any problems with Dad, like I said, he's the ex tech support in the house. Both don't stay up to date with tech stuff, mum's laptop needs replacing desperately, its stupidly slow, may re-install vista or install 7 on it to make it non-shit. Dad is thinking of mac if he were to get his own laptop, since then no-one could install games on it and make it slow, I always counter that argument now with Steam
