Personal PCs

[Daisy and Delilah]

MINE!! It's actually ok if someone has to use it but I'll be right there. I feel like it's my personal space being invaded

I don't mind people using our computer, but I HATE when they download sutff. Feel free to download whatever on your own computer - but 99.9% of the viruses we've gotten on our PC's have been from guests downloading things.

I don't mind, but it depends who it is too, and I would like it if they ask first. Some people I would worry they would download a bunch of crap and give me virus's or whatever. My dad occassionally puts stuff on my computer and uses it, without asking. I mean, he knows more about computers than I ever will, but I still would like it if he asked me.

It really depends who is using my computer.

My computer crashed a couple months ago, so now I have to share with my 2 little sisters and my mom. I'm actually using my dad's computer from work (he is a computer programmer) so technically this isn't my computer. He bought a new one for where he is working now, so we will be swapping once his consultant job is over. I don't mind sharing with my family, because they know not to download anything.

Someone came here to install a new front door with my dad and my grandpa, and his son went on our old computer (not the once that crashed, a different one) without asking, and downloaded a virus onto it! I lost everything on that computer, and wound up having to just get rid of it!

I used to have to share with my computer with my mom.

i actually didnt mind her using my computer to play the games. but there was
times when i was busy or didnt want to get off my computer for her

but now that my brother gave them his old computer..
i wont have to share anymore.

oops. I guess I should not have checked my email on your computer. Sorry, I didn't know.

I'm fine with it so long as they ask. I have a friend who was living with a friend.. they ended up kicking him out, keeping his stuff, and selling everything at a garage sale without telling him. He tried coming over to pick his stuff up, but they refused, and then sold it, and now claim he never tried contacting them to pick it up (as their reasoning for selling it). So he doesn't have a computer and I let him use mine because I understand how it is to not have one (I went without one for years when my parents' broke. Until I built my own, that is ).

But what DOES bother me is when they download and install all kinds of programs.... this same friend, I love him to death, but he installed AOL on my computer!!!!! I HATE that program! Its a leech, even if you uninstall it, it doesn't go away because it roots itself in your computer and is near impossible to get rid of. If they ask, its not a big deal... but.. AOL ugh.
Not only that but he installed everything to my C drive and my C drive is JUST for my operating system.. everything else is on my D drive (which is also a much larger drive) so just.. grar.

I suppose my mild OCD doesn't have anything to do with it, either lol
