I think he’s saying his ten-year-old Internet-surfing wife – who speaks Ubuntu – owns a four-year-old pet dinosaur.

I had a bunch of toy dinosaurs when I was little, but I don’t use them anymore.

I have a Pentium 4 with the latest 32 bit release of Lubuntu on it, gave it to my ma as a Facebook machine. It gets slow after a bit though, I suspect it might be the 20 gb Hdd which I think we got in 2001 or so. I might change it in the near future.
The machine runs on 1.5 gigs of ram.

Once I have enough space (and cash obviously) I`ll get me one of those. I want a color monitor though. I still have my trusty ISA SB16 which should still work I reckon.
