Technology

My old computer sits next to my desk and occasionally gives me this "what did I do wrong?" look. It is pretty unlucky for us that computer technology advances so quickly that we cannot at least sell old pc's for parts or trade them in at a decent value for new computers. I'm sure I could find a use for it. Possibly as a mass storage device...there's a thought. I was considering taking it to a local computer shop and seeing if there were any parts that might be of use on it, that they could maybe cut me a few deals towards a cheap laptop or something, but I fear they would likely just laugh and try to tell me nicely that anything more than six months old is junk in the technological sense. I have had it for a good five years.
Poor computer.
Maybe they won't laugh if I just stop by (sans computer) and ask about suggestions for an out dated pc.

Then again, tech nerds tend to have their own condescending genre of humor. We'll see.
