My parents are planning on buying a laptop sometime over the next few weeks, how very modern of them. They have a computer at the moment but it is so bad, so so bad. It is ancient and truly awful to use – and that’s coming from someone who only has an average computer herself!
I am on the look out for a good bargain for them, either something new or something used/broken that we can get cheap powerbook repair service for and fix up – my husband can fix most computers and it’s a very handy skill to have in the family, must have saved us $100s of the years
