workhorse computer: Sony Vaio desktop, Sony monitor, shared external HDD (should get round to RAIDing my old HDs too), Firefox + NoScript
laptop: 3kg Sony Vaio for graphically intensive stuff, 1kg Sony Vaio for business travel, 650g Sony Vaio netbook for private travel, little funky Sony Vaio palmtop with slide-out keyboard for...erm...ahhh...because I wanted one, ok?! All on various versions of Vista until I get around to installing Win 7 on them.
is there an Apple in the house?: No, I bought plums and cherries this week. Oh, that Apple. Not at the moment.
wireless: All sorts of devices.
mobile phone: Currently a metal cased Nokia, my fifth or sixth Nokia since my first 2110, built as solidly as a brick - it survived a drop from the top of Rough Tor in Bodmin, most notably. Due an upgrade for a while though and considering an iPhone4.
Facebook: Yes, but locked down tight since the privacy changes.
Linkedin: No.
Twitter: No.
RSS reader: No.
Favourite aggregator: I find aggregators useful, but haven't found a decent one for watches.
photohosting: Imageshack.
Most frequently visited watch-related blogs: Hodinkee and Calibre 11 too. I have a bookmark for a TAG-Heuer blog too, but that hasn't updated since Apr 2009.
Other favorite watch-related forums: IVHOC, Vetroplastica and Timezone.
Watch bookmarks: I have 39 watch sites bookmarked in total - the forums and blogs above, this forum and OTD, the rest are a mixture of sellers who have or have had interesting watches, events, some auction sites including a useful UK auction house aggregator and other bits and bobs.
