All I have to say is make sure your stuff is backed up or you'll be sorry..

Many of my customers have brought pc's to Worst buy and they had their PC's wiped out.. they lost pictures and everything..

Well, here's the deal. I have everything backed up on an external drive. What I really want, is for them to tell us that it's totallly screwed, since it's eight years old, and then get a new computer! My wife doesn't want a new one, and I'd like to get us a laptop, so I can get rid of the monstrous computer desk in the basement, to make way for some video game machines!!

Yes, I know. Devious. Underhanded. Sneaky-that's who I am, it's what I do!!

OH! Well, you didn't say you had a plan..

In that case go for it..

Just in case the geeks can't destroy it enough I can recommend some minor modifications that can get the job done..

Well, it's pretty screwed up right now. It is sooooooooo slow. It's time for it to go, I just can't convince the wife. of course, paying for a new one is a whole other issue!
