Notes: Really nice piece of kit for the £500 it was three years ago; very good keyboard; nice screen -if a bit low-res-; though the touchpad is tiny and the speakers -while loud- are tinny. Named after I kept calling it 'that one', shortened to 'TO', then to 'Tio'.

Notes:
Named because the trackpoint pointing device is also known colloquially as a 'tit-mouse', this happens to be an old name for the coal tit, a small bird, hence: Coal.
The keyboard on this is one of the lovely older Thinkpad ones, so is very pleasent to type on, and, as it features a trackpoint, there's no messing about with one of those stupid trackpads most laptops have.
Other:
Diplodocus: An old desktop I was given by a computer shop which would have otherwise thrown it out, very old and heavy, hence the name. Has a Pentium at somewhere between 133 and 233MHz (Set manually in BIOS, but I'm not sure what's the correct setting, and haven't got around to looking it up), and 192MB RAM. Windows 95. Unused.
Old desktop (unnamed): Was my main machine for quite some time: Athlon
[email protected], 1GB RAM, 1x160GB and 1x40GB HDD, had a Radeon 9600 Pro 128MB GPU, which fried itself, currently has a Radeon 7500 32MB in it. Windows
. Unused.
Black Widow: Given to me by my old sixth form as they no longer had a use for it. 800MHz PIII, 512MB RAM, 80GB HDD. Named for the mating habits of the spider; had a lot of issues with this machine when I was using it: When you turned it on, something bad happened. Ubuntu. Unused.
Also have a broken (GPU dead) DELL Inspiron 2500, an HP with some sort of Celeron@~2GHz, a Thinkpad 600, and a Comppaq SLT 286 -a portable from 1989- lying about the place. Also lots of Commodore 64s and VIC-20s, a couple of Commodore Plus-4s, an Amiga 1200, a Spectrum 2+, at least one Commodore 16, and a couple of BBC Masters (One with an 80186 coprocessor board for running IBM software).
Well... this was long: tl;dr: I should get rid of some computers.
Edit: Ok, how do I stop it rendering the name of an operating system as an emoticon? x.x
