Most writers rely on their computers, and I'm no exception. So here's a picture of my trusty old laptop.

It's a Dell Inspiron, and it's about five years old now. The operating system I use is Linux Mint. Why? Because it's brilliant, that's why. And because if I had to use Windows I'd have a hissy fit. Seriously.

I use Chrome as my default browser, LibreOffice as my word processor, and a program called Thunderbird for my email. 

One of the things I like best about my laptop is the keyboard. A lot of computers these days have those low-profile buttons that barely move when you tap them. The keys on my Dell have a nicely chunky feel to them - they have a definite press-and-click action. I know that seems like a minor detail, but minor details are important when you're sitting at a computer a lot.
