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!

Great buy glad it was still there when you went back for it
