I noticed a PC computer for sale in the garage...big flat screen monitor and the fella showed it to me. It was marked $250, but he said I could have it for $200. I left without buying it, and ran some errands, including Walmart, where I checked on the price of the 19" flat screen monitor, which sells for over $200. The PC tower is a Sony Vaio, and had Windows XP as well as Office already installed. I decided to go back and buy it! So, I'm sitting her typing on my "new" yard sale computer. It's great! The fella who sold it to me is a tech wizard who does this for a living, and he gave me information about retrieving all my files from my old PC. He said I could take the old one to Staples and they would recover all my files from my old PC and save them to a disc which I can add to this one. Plus! my old PC wouldn't play DVD's and this one does. I'm happy with this yard sale find!
