You've been wondering what to do with that old computer, haven't you? I mean, it's no good to you anymore, but it has sentimental value! Surely, there's still some life left in that old companion! But what to do with it? You can't just abandon it; cast it cruelly, callously, carelessly to the curb; can you, you cad? Of course you can't! </ALLITERATION> To whom can you turn in this, your dark hour of need?
