I bought it to digitize my VHS movies to DVD. The version I have was purchased on the Internet and it has a button to disable the Macrovison (crap used to prevent making copies). I even used to record movies or shows from Hulu by connecting my two computers and recording on the 2nd one. That was a great device. I still have the original box and accessories.
I bought it to digitize my vinyls via USB on my computer. It comes with a free editing software to help remove scratches, pops, clicks and background noise.
I was cleaning up my media room, and I decided to get rid of my last desktop that I used for storage so I removed the hard drive and put it in an enclosure so I can use it as an external storage device. I put 3 used PCs down the curb and 2 hours later they were gone!
Anyway I was remembering how many computers I owned since 1997.
I bought my first PC on October 1997, built my second PC in 1999, refurbished 5 more that I used for a good while then I refurbished 3 laptops and bought my Alienware a couple years ago. I'm typing this on my used laptop so now I only have two left.
So I owned 7 PCs, 4 laptops and a tablet + 2 eBook readers which are collecting dust in my closet.
My question is how many desktops, laptops, and tablets did you own?
