Aw, thanks! Yup, good job! Inspiron 1501. My dad had it lying around so I helped him rebuild it with Windows 7 Professional. Video card isn’t great, but meets my needs. 🙂
Yeah, when I first got in this business 17 years ago, you needed a new machine every time a new version of Windows came out. (sometimes office) Nowadays, one even several years old is fine. Especially if you throw a bit more memory and maybe a bigger drive in it.
I can’t count how many of my customer’s old machines, laptops and desktops, that they’ve given me and I do just like your Dad. 🙂
I just sold a laptop last week for 150 bucks. This PC I’m typing this on is from customer parts and my WEB-SERVER is a ten year old HP desktop. That pic is on the machine in the pic 🙂
Haha, thanks! He’s an IT guy and if a client’s laptop is broken enough that he recommends getting a new one, they sometimes give him the unusable one. Then, he tries to resuscitate it. 🙂 I love working with computers so I usually ask to help, and he teaches me in the process. I love it. 🙂
Hey, A! I am doing well! I get to go to the park with a lot of our homeschooled friends every Friday afternoon so I am looking forward to that. 🙂
How are you?
I’m doing well today. I’m cloud nine every Friday, well, because it’s Friday!!! 😀
Seriously though, I’m feeling pretty great today. Some big decisions I needed to make are unfolding nicely and I have no one but God to thank for His guiding hand and many blessings. So I feel blessed right now.

Very cool. 🙂
That looks like one of the old Inspiron E series.

Learn all you can from him now. I missed out on that when I was a teenager and should have taken more advantage of it! Good for you!!
