I recently gave one of our older computers to my niece, who needed a desktop computer.  There was absolutely nothing wrong with it at all, it was just a little bit “slower” than I wanted it to be.  But for her needs, it was perfect.  It was all hooked up in a spare bedroom, and worked fine.  My niece told me she would like to have it, so I cleaned off my personal files and did a defrag on it, and gave it to her.  Imagine my surprise when one week later she told me it was broken!  I can’t imagine why it would suddenly break!  So I told her to bring it back for me to see if I could figure out what was wrong (she’s technologically impaired) and she brings it back without the mouse, keyboard, or any cords.    GRRRRRRRRRRRRR.  It is going to be a pain in the neck to scrounge up spares to hook this up to check it out, and I don’t want to break down my own computer for the parts.  Sometimes I wonder about that girl!
