I spent my weekend buying a 220 gig computer for $220 and then deleting/

And printers.
And photos.
And purchase orders with credit card numbers.
Strange for someone to just let it all go through the estate sale.
Probably a relative who had no idea what the departed had used the computer
for. Perhaps an older relative who is still computer illiterate, as some
of mine are. Frex, my sixty-something cousin, who went back to college and
started substitute teaching after losing her husband a dozen or so years
ago, only finally broke down and got a computer and learned to use it
something like two or three years ago, and my stepmother still refuses to
consider getting one, although I keep thinking about trying to fix up an
old machine¹ and give it to her and get her hooked on e-mail . . .

¹Unfortunately, it would probably be cheaper to get her a new machine than
to bring any of my old ones up to even minimal requirements to be useful
today. particularly when one would have to start by purchasing a new copy
of Win XP (as well as other software) for it, after fixing whatever went
wrong that cause me to have to replace it . . .
