Not really. I can outfight and outwit them, and I don't get grounded and such like they do. The 14 year old thinks I'm a showoff just because I have a laptop and choose to use it. But she's generally nice. The 13 year old views me as a role model, but we do seem to fight more, mostly when she's grumpy at night...
I have an aversion to small children, so I have the most problems with my half brother, who isn't even two yet.

Ah, I've got myself set on a Sony product myself. The PDA I'm going to get is a Sony CLIE UX-50 ~ very, very sweet.
I have an ancient desktop that I don't use anymore, it was my first computer, and right now I'm on a Toshiba Satellite A50 series notebook. I'll tell you this, if you want to get a laptop, go Toshiba. Don't get a Dell, or an Apple.
Want me to tell you my laptop's stats? 🙂

Good. I look through the Dell catalouge and shake my head. They are so backwards.
Well...
40 gigabytes
Windows Professional (Whistler) Service Pack 2
'Ultra Speed' +48x CD-DVD-RW-ROM
WMP 10
InterVideo WINDVD 4 (This program rocks, do it deserves to be a stat.)
Pentium 4 CPU, 2.66 Ghz
480 MBs of RAM
3 hours of battery life (but I've gotten more than that)
14" LCD screen
Not only that, but I've had it for over a year and it's only 'crashed' three times. (Once because of my Mother, not it's fault.) It's by far the best computer I've ever had. Only downfall, it's 'huge', nearly 9 lbs. I've gotten very used to it though, and it really is a great workout when I walk to the library (1 mile), so I don't even notice it anymore.

Yeah, you have WINDVD too?
It's not a hardcore gaming PC or anything, but it's sturdy, and still very up-to-date, I've customized it to death... I'm very attached to it. 😮
So you know, Service Pack 2 is availible from Microsoft for free (shipping is free and everything), so if your running one of their system and you can get it, you might want to - it's really good.
