I sometimes wonder [View all]

Had someone bring in an old Dell 3000. 2.8 GHz cpu, 512 Mb RAM, 40 Gb hard drive-they wanted it wiped so they could give it to someone.
Somebody had put a bootleg Windows 7 Ultimate on it. It worked-after a fashion. Took almost 10 minutes before it fully loaded to the desktop and was ready to go.
I saved the 3 Gb data onto a flash drive. Needless to say I'm not putting 7 Ultimate back on it
