Hollie1985 Posted July 23, 2009 Author Posted July 23, 2009 Well this will come as a bit of a shock but I hate, yes I HATE technology. Most probably because I work with it. I have worked with it on a massive scale in a previous job, I worked with it when I had a small PC business many many years ago and I am currently working with it on a much smaller scale. I much prefer the simple things in life like my garden, drinking a good wine and relaxing with a good film or listening to the radio. Too much technology in my opinion is around us and the majority of it is not necessary unless it's involved in a medical matter - [ like saving the life of my oldest son many years ago ] Bless you this made me laugh you are absolutely right when you work with technology it becomes a lifestyle! Answering the question myself my fave technology is Oki for printers, HP for PCs, Apple -my iphone :-) It is also so important to be able to escape from technology as well my garden, my pond sun shining and maybe a glass of pinot grecio right now aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa yes and Coral Bays beach for 2 weeks soon :-D

featured_spectre Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Custom Spec PCs for PC's, for the fact that you know you are putting in good quality parts. Toshiba Laptops - Rarely had one break apart from a 5 year old one which had a few keys picked off by kids. Netgear / 3Com managed smart switches - fantastic set up on them, easy to use. xbox 360 gaming console - uber leet in terms of gameplay (better than PS3 everywhere apart from graphics). Call of duty 4 - best software out there, I enjoy kicking arse too much!
Lee_K_81 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Hardware: HP for desktops, servers and infrastructure, used to only buy Toshiba for laptops but we've had quite a few issues with the VGA output recently and toshiba loosing the 3 yr warrenty details for a batch of 30 laptops and another couple of individual ones.. needless to say, i'll be switching to HP. Software: Currently enjoying our new Swyx VOIP phone system and VMWare ESXi - drastically reduced our physical number of servers and given us much more scope for implemeting new things! Personally: I like my iPhone and the best technology ever......... Aeroplanes! Gotta love those trips to Las Vegas! (or insert other fav holiday destination!)
tom_newton Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 Printers: Kyocera (Worst idea: Lexmark) PCs: Use Dell... not great, but no bother. Phones: Zultys. Been really good. Like like like. Switches: HP have not done anything to offend Mice: Microsoft's finest hour
tmcd35 Posted July 23, 2009 Posted July 23, 2009 With the obvious exception of my soft spot for Apple ( ) I don't really have any favoured brands any more. I think they pretty much all have their place and it's more a question of what is the best fit for a particular solution. I had been buying Lenovo until recently but have just switched to Toshiba laptops and Acer desktops because I wanted AMD processors at a good price. If we're talking about a favourite technology that "really gets me going" then it has to be virtualisation. As a technology I find it fascinating and immensely useful.

HTCIT Posted July 24, 2009 Posted July 24, 2009 Hp desktops Mini-Notes/Ergo Laptops Ergo Lpatops has to be the "Vist 621" great laptop.
