A Whole Pile of Scrap

Two days ago my mother informed me that she was getting a new computer from a friend, who was also getting a new computer. Which means this computer was already used up and useless. She forgot to mention that this computer came with a whole bunch of extra parts: Two monitors, two keyboards, printer, a box full of broken mice, several broken speakers, a headset microphone, a two box's full of Install CD's and Disk's! I set the computer up for her, and tossed aside the broken pieces as they surfaced. After messing around with the computer and looking for any files worth keeping, I found out the computer was, as I predicted, crap. It only had 233mhz and 64mb Ram, which is only slightly weaker than there last computer: a 333mhz, 128mb ram junker. The computer had been wiped clean of files as well. How she's going to use this computer is beyond me... I have problems running MSWord and the Internet on my 2.2ghz computer! Oh well, as long as she enjoys it. I only found two things in the mass of computer scrap that were salvagable for me: The Headset Microphone, and a year old re-built 17 inch flatscreen monitor! With this new monitor in hand I can now actually see what I'm doing!
