    You know what you may be right. I know the people who sell those computers are not 'screwing' anybody. They have a business to run. Which is fine, but the stuff is older and out of date. As I stated XP has no support as of the 8th of April. I do not have a business though. I would end up selling to people I know more or less. With the responses I got before even having them in my possession. They were not gonna want them. I remember buying a computer as kid with my mom. I asked the guy if it could play games. Like real good games of the time. He said yes. So I got it. It did not do what I wanted. I was wondering then as a kid. Why did he sell it to me? I just can't do that kind of stuff. Even if I am not 'screwing' anybody.
