Dad: PC specs: his old desktop at home is a P4 3.2ghz with a Gefore 6800GT, but he barely uses it any more. Additional: He has a HTC Desire which he uses for a lot of things. I also got my HTC from him At work he has a dual monitor setup. Core i7 920, 12GB RAM, Intel SSD, Some Nvidia Quadro card. He uses SolidWorks and models eat quite a lot of memory. Knowledge: He taught me how to pirate software 15 years ago. Likes gadgets and knows how to find obscure patches for them in the deepest corners of the internet. Mum: PC Specs: She doesn't actually use the desktop I build for them back there (AMD tri-core, 4GB RAM, HD4850) because my brothers play on it a lot all the time. Instead she uses the Medion laptop my stepdad once bought (Windows Vista media model or something) for the occasional mail checking. Knowledge: Knows how to work around issues and how to use software (she once worked as a secretary). Neither of my parents play video games. My mom was once addicted to Tetris but that's about it. Both my parents are remarried. My stepmum and stepdad are pretty terrible when it comes to computers, although my stepdad used to play Quake / Doom and other games from that era. He had a Commodore 64!
