well crap.
Dec. 27th, 2012 02:27 amso I got "gifted" a computer that my parents recently replaced.
HDD is dying->dead.
was trying to figure out how to budget for a replacement drive, money is still tight and even with the monies/gift cards I was given it's still going to be tight.
"Oh wait" says I " I can pull one of the drives out of my old computer that doesn't get used because it's ancient and hardly runs anything."
"well Fuck" says I when I remember that the old computer is so old that it's got IDE drives, not SATA.
Anyone got any moderately sized Sata disks laying around that they don't need?
at least once I do manage to get it up and running I may be able to play some of the newer games that everyone has been talking about.
I was also given a couple laptops that are almost as ancient as the old computer that I was going to pull a disk out of.
they won't run anything either and one of them doesn't even have the power cable.
so maybe they become targets.
