Don't you get paranoid that you may have left some information like usernames and passwords on other people's computer? Are you comfortable enough using other people's computer like it is yours?

That's true. The time limit is making me uncomfortable too unlike when i'm using my computer, i can use it anytime i want without worrying about the time.

i am not paranoid, because when i use my friend's computer, i clear the cache/ history of the computer so that password, and username will not be save.. i am not comfortable though, since i like using my computer more.. and i can do anything i want in my computer.. i love to download new stuff, and install softwares that i like in my pc.. i do not do this in the computer of other people, so that they will not get problems.. when i have problems with my pc, i fix them on my own..

Same here. Freedom to anything on our computer is priceless. That's what i call "personal computer" hehe..

Its not exactly a paranoid but somehow I do not feel at home with others' commuter. I just do not feel comfortable there. Really I love my own.

As the saying goes, "Love your own". thumbup

Hey modstar! I don't have a problem using someone elses
computer. I don't do it very often since I have my own
at home. But, if I need to use someone elses computer on
occasion I don't have a problem with it. I really wouldn't
worry about someone finding out my password or username. I
don't really have anything that I would want to hide or be
ashamed of!

Hi Opal! Be careful especially when using a computer from a cafe. They might manipulate your accounts like your Paypal.

Hi, modstar,i do not comfortable when i using other's PC. Everyone has their habit when using computer. Last time i use a friend's PC, i find the mouse is not good, i think it is break down, but my friend can use it ok. So i find it is not comfortable to use other's computer.


myLot reputation of 96/100. modstar (4960)   ranked 136 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Yes, sometimes we are not used to with the hardware unless it's ours.

Yes i feel a little awekward when any of my friends or family member uses my pc Or i use anybody else's PC. But my PC is secured, all my passwords and usernames are stored in private and nobody can access my data. So i dont need to worry about it much.
You can also make limited accounts in your PC like there are in your school's or college's computers to secure your data and have some privacy in your computer.


myLot reputation of 96/100. modstar (4960)   ranked 136 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Good point! We can let others use our pc then log on as "Guests" to prevent manipulation or something.

I am now using my son's computer as my internet cable was hit by lightning recently. Of course I am not comfortable using others computer, I have to clear up every traces of places I surfed.

I have my beloved computer set up perfectly just how I like it. The shortcuts are strategically placed to suit me; even my screensaver is a collage of my personal photos and pictures so other people's PCs would not have the same "feel".
I sometimes use my sister's computer and it just isn't the same; I'm not comfortable where she has placed everything and even the mouse feels funny!
I love my laptop! happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. modstar (4960)   ranked 136 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  9 months ago

Hi paula! That's exactly how i feel when using other people's computer and just like, i got all things in place like icons and files. It's customized to fit my needs. thumbup

Hi modstar! I don't use other peoples computers if I can help it. I don't use public computers either. I do a lot online such as banking and shopping. It may not be them so much I worry about as access to their computer by others.


myLot reputation of 96/100. modstar (4960)   ranked 136 out of 19,161 in questions & answers  9 months ago

I think you should really do it at home on your computer. It would be really dangerous to shop and bank online.
