I am not a Techy person...

Nope, not tech savvy at all.

That is why when my computer went down, I didn't try and fix it at first.

I called my Tech guy and he told me my dinosaur is a bit out of date and I should just get a new one.

I did, but I have very little idea of how to get my programs going.

So, I did what any intelligent senior would do...I called my neighbor and had him send over his 10 year old son.

Problem fixed.

Then I went and fixed my old one...

Smart man, call in the "big guns" to work on your computer and take care of something you know about.

It's amazing how our tech can get "old". I just replaced a first generation HP tablet (circa 2007/2008: the hard drive was so full it could not defrag itself, it was running Windows XP, and was S-L-O-W....

Great Job!  Glad you're back up and running. Looks like the old machine isn't stressful anymore these days.
thanks for sharing,

Beer brewing, now that requires technical know how.  I tried it and it was undrinkable. I do like the draft beer though.

Interesting way to re-use your computer.  I agree with the 10 year old for sure!

That is a good use for the carcasses of old computers. I could make four or 5 of those today!

Hi William,

I kept my HP laptop from 2007 until both hard drives crashed and died in 2014. I now have a new computer and I love it. It is fast and I can drag photos into my blog and it reminds me of how old and tired my computer really was. I am glad you got yours back and I sure hope it works for a long time to come. Congrats and I am sure your computer tech is a whiz.
