My mom needs a new computer … right now she has one of my old systems … a Pentium III 700mhz and a really junky 15″ monitor.
Since I no longer need theshire anymore (all the applications that were running on it have been moved to gondor), I figure I’ll give the system to mom.
Since her monitor is so junky also … I picked up a 19″ LCD display for myself, gave my old 19″ LCD display to Ginny, and took her 15″ LCD display for the servers (which frees up a lot of space on my computer workbench). Now I can also give mom a much nicer 17″ CRT display.
Dad just has to adjust her computer desk so the new monitor will fit. He groused about that when I told him what I was going to do.
I think we did a good thing. Now your mom can surf a lot faster and better than your dad… the next step is to get her set up on Firefox, of course. 😉
Bah! I completely forgot to install firefox & thunderbird on that machine.
