New computer set up

They may be nearly as unique as a finger print, but I ask stuff like this to find out about all of the new stuff I've never heard about before that people value. There are at least 3 things I haven't heard of on your list and 2 that I forgot about. Steve These lists will be nearly as unique as a fingerprint, no? Not sure how useful it is...but I'll play...
