    Just curious, when watching the game what are you using to chat on this board with? If the game's on TV, I am on the couch and use my iPad. I have to watch some games online, then I use my laptop.

    Same here, though for various reasons I'm usually catching up on the first hour or so of the game, which means I have to steer clear of here so I don't get any *spoilers* (as I think BFT put it once). I tend to come on to the board after the game, mainly.

    A beat up, tired, rapidly aging dinosaur of a desktop. It's situated with a good view of my TV even though it's in the next room. (Semi-open floor plan. Only 9-10 feet from the TV)

    Shame. This PC was a beast back in its day.

    :lolol: It's not that old.

    It could run Diablo 3 on full settings. ;) But it's slowing down, and almost 6 years old now. By Moore's Law standards, it's a relic.

    I chat on the TSF 3000 designed by TTF with all the latest in Black and Gold technology and every time we score Myron Cope yells from the speakers and there's a little gif of a Terrible Towel that pops up on the screen waving. It's a really awesome machine and I'm sure TTF would design you one also. LOL. ACTUALLY WHEN I get to chat I do it on my laptop while watching the game on Sunday Ticket. My laptop is a Toshiba but I'm not exactly sure what the model is. I just made sure it had all the buttons that you push to type and I then bought it. LOL.

    I prefer to use my laptop, but if my wife is using it, then I use my iPhone. If it's the iPhone, I have a lot fewer posts, because it takes longer. Whereas with my laptop, I can type my posts before the next play.

    I hate touch screens with a passion. When I finally had to get a "smart" phone I got one without buttons and it takes forever to type something on there and SO many times I hit one button only for it to register another. I miss having actual buttons to push. I'm really picky about always wanting to spell stuff right and I make a lot of mistakes on a touchscreen and I'm sure I would feel the same about an iphone. I wish they made some kind of little keyboard you could attach to those touch phones. I, for the life of me, can not understand why touchscreens are all the rage. I guess I'm just too old school for my own good. LOL.

    If it's at home and they're on AFN I use the Macbook as it's small and light. If I have to use my laptop connected to the screen I use the Galaxy Tab 3. Don't like using it, because the damn keyboard goes funky on me, disappearing after keystrokes sometimes.

    If I'm watching the game in real time (most often I'm not), then I do it through my TV's web interface (PIP for the game, of course)

    Dell Laptop. A lot better than when I used to run to the computer room to type something and then run back to the living room.

    I'm typically using my laptop, although sometimes during games I'm posting using my Surface tablet.

    Usually I use my wife's laptop to see the game and chat. If the game is on tv., I might use my phone but because it takes so long to type, I'm always fearful of missing something, so I end up short cutting, so the posts look like ADHD.ramblings and then I'm frustrated because I missed a play and then I check the computer to see what I missed then I have to see the tv for highlights then finally a commercial comes on and I catch up.

    After all that my brain hurts and I fall asleep, vowing never to use ANYTHING during a game again... But that changes quickly.

    Oops rambling again
