My crappy DSL. 12k uploads just doesn't cut it when you do websites for a living.

Logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Worst by far of the things I've bought for my computer. The thing clicks out at least twice a day on me, it'll just stop working and I'll have to unplug the receiver and plug it back in. And when I start my computer up, it never remembers my mouse speed settings, so I have to switch it from fastest possible to something usable. Never buying Logitech again.

Well the DeskJet 952C that my sister bought for college six years ago is ancient, but it still works great.

My PowerShot S200 is lagging a bit... I really need a bit more megapixelage out of a digital camera nowadays.

My Microsoft wireless router.

It likes to drop my bloody connection every hour or so sometimes.

My advice to people, stay away from Microsoft wireless.

Hmm... well, there are a few items that I would like to replace, but I don't think I really need to.

My speakers are weak. They're not THAT bad if you're sitting at the desk, but they are just too quiet and puny to do much.

My hard drives are both sitting on a shared ATA/66 bus, so it would be cool if I could get an ATA/133 card or even a Serial ATA card for my computer, but I don't think it's really worth it. My hard drives are doing fine.

A nice M-audio Revolution 7.1 sound card would be sweet, but I don't really need it. It would also involve buying a set of speakers to really take advantage of the sound card.

I have an old printer and an old scanner, but they both work fine.

I have thought of replacing my 17" CRT with a 17"-19" LCD, but it would cost way too much, and my 17" CRT is really good anyway.

The new Apple keyboards suck worse than before. The new one is so sharp and rough, there is no smoothness. It is all sharp edges. And you've got that ugly thing above the arrow keys. Ew. I'm gettn me a Tactile Pro soon. A silver version is coming.

Overall, my iMac. When I first got it two years ago, it was fine. I did the average noob stuff. Then I got into modding, then Photoshop, and now I'm working an internship off it. 800MHZ and 512 RAM don't cut it! On top of that, the piece of **** just died on me awhile back. The screen went black. $500 later, we had a new logic card. Woops. Looks like the neck was bad too. Damn proprietary design! I'm in debt $600 dollars!

Hopefully if some coal deals go through, I'll have a G5 and a Cinema Display my January, with some pocket cash from work. Hopefully.

I was going to say 'me' but someone beat me to it.

Umm.... whats sucks in my set-up.... nothing really. I guess I could use a backpack with a spot for a laptop, but my Marware sleeve works fine enough in a standard backpack.

12in Powerbook rev c, 80 GIG, DVD-R, 768 RAM. BT logitech mouse, iSight, 10 GIG iPod second gen, the previous Apple pro keyboard, an S400 Canon 4MP digital Camera, a LinkSys wireless G router, a 250 gig external firewire HD, a USB 2.0 digital media reader.... I mean, honestly, with this kind of setup the only thing keeping me back is me and my lack of skill. Heck, I've even got my webpage hosted off a B&W G3, a webpage which has a domain of my own name! (Plus a B&W G3 sitting next to it with 800+ gigs of storage space on it that I use with my college roomies.)

How lame I am.

I like my setup

Maybe the MS Intellimouse Explorer. It was good like 5 years ago, however. (Of course, everything else now in my setup is no longer being made, except for my iSight)
