A new computer

Post by Tails5 »

I just got a new computer for $20, yes that's right, $20 dollars, I went to my local store to get a hardware upgrade for my older computer and it wouldnt fit in my case. Now get this: He got a computer from the back of the store and gave it to me for the $20. So now I've given it a new CD ROM drive, and a hard drive and it runs WinXP flawlessly. This is the computer that struggled to run Win2000 before.

:O That's good news; $20 is like only £10, that my friend is good going :)

Don't suppose we can get specifications of this new computer (of course am not expecting a super computer but let's see...)?

It runs great for the purposes I need it for, it even runs the 2007 Microsft Office system, so it's more than I ever could have hoped for $20.

I know, I'm glad that the store-owner was that kind.
