• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Curious to know what the computer demographics are among forum members.

Not sure whether I should have added options for tablets or Chromebooks

Rod, I've edited the poll and so you can enter in both options - PC and Mac - if you like.
 
I've used an I-Pad for the last 3 years, I do all my business bookwork on it, quotes,invoices & accounts

Only once in those 3 years could I have done with a computer & that was only because the IKEA kitchen planning software isn't compatible with an I-Pad.

I could do with a bigger screen though but that's mainly my eyes deteriorating as I get older & I could always get an I-Pad pro :eusa-think:
 
Ah yes....the iPad Pro. Now that IS a tablet ! I've played around with various tablets from time to time. A crappy under-powered poor-resolution Android which was bought on eBay and promptly sold as it was so bad. I did have an iPad for a while when we went to Japan and the interesting thing was that having bought and tested it in the January, come our trip in May I couldn't find it! Buried under paper for all those months. So I sold it.

Now with the impending move and the likelihood of being out and about a lot looking at stuff or on the estate (there's posh ;) ) thought a tablet might be useful with a 3G or 4G dongle. So I tried a Huawei 7" from Three and it's pretty spritely. The only problem is the display. It's sort of OK-ish resolution wise but some websites, the letters seem to render strangely depending on where you have scrolled to. They sort of go in and out of sharpness as the edges of the font coincide/don't coincide with the screen resolution.

And then....

And then I popped into John Lewis and looked at an iPad Pro. Oh me...oh my...I want one.
 
Windows 7 Home Premium & XP on the home desktop and Vista Business at the workshop.
 
3 laptops and 3 desktops all running WinXP and another laptop has win 7 for 64 bit programs
Iphone 5 and SWMBO galaxy something combo tablet and phone.
3 Arduino Uno R3s. 1 runs the Solar PV excess energy dump, 1 runs the thermal store calorimeter and the third one is work in progress as I write, will optimise the boiler operating conditions.

Mac Mini for me and MacBook Air for Mission control. iPhone 5S for me and MC has been given a used iPhone 6 from Santa. The old Vista laptop may be emptied, cleaned and converted to Linux for use in the 'shop when I've finished building it.
 
Macbook Pro Retina as the main 'home' use.

Dell Latitude D630 with Windows 7 x64 for car software etc

Sony Vaio with Windows 7 x64 for work

SuSE Linux for some networking stuff and recovering bent Windoze installations

Sony VAIO with Windows XP Pro for some radio apps

Oracle VMs for Unix, Red Hat Linux, Kubuntu, Yellow Dog for tinkering etc.

iPhone 6S for home, iPhone 5 and 6S for work, iPad 3 Kindle Fire, other assorted gadgets.. :text-lol:
 
High power desktop PC for photo editing etc running Win7
Regular laptop PC also running Win7
Isabelle's laptop PC running Win7
Photo club's high power laptop PC (lives here between meetings) running Win7

Somewhere in the attic is a Dell laptop PC from 1999 running Win98, still works perfectly after many years of abuse including crossing the atlantic at least a dozen times. Not not sure what to do with it but cant bear to chuck it !

Also in the attic a desktop PC dating from around 2002 running XP - also in perfect working order.
 
Big iMac desktop, older MacBook laptop, iPad Pro (smaller version) with keyboard and an iPhone7. Slave to the brand :D - Rob
 
Win 10 laptop running Chrome (actually my work laptop)
And then an iPad 2.
Sometimes my phone (Samsung S5), but only if neither of the other 2 are available.
