You ought to buy my slightly used, superdooper desktop PC. It's got
everything you need and...it works properly!
Even with USB 2 and Firewire.

Why don't you make him one hell of a deal when you upgrade your next
computer. You seem to upgrade every 3 years and your state of the art
computers would still be a great computer. Have you decided to switch
over to a Mac Desktop?

I'd make him (or any other rational person) a hell of a deal. I've even
got a cherry HP home server I can include. It not only backs up
automatically, it serves up music and videos, and can be used as a web
server.

Indeed, I am planning to switch over entirely to the Mac side of the force.
Could a third party handle the entire transaction?
You wouldn't consider buying computer equipment from Krause, would you?
It's probably full of pirated software, virus, trojans, bombs and spyware.

Not directly, no. But if the third person were the Geek Squad, then
perhaps.


Hehehe. I guarantee that my desktop machine is perfectly clean, no
trojans new or used, no spyware, no virii, no bombs, no spyware. I'm not
the one who posts here with endless "unsolvable" computer problems, or
the inability to use simple, everyday programs.

Besides, what you do with a used machine you are taking in is first wipe
it clean and I don't mean just a format. Then you install a clean OS,
update it and then you install a fresh anti-vi/spyware package. And then
you are ready to install the software you will use from distribution CDs
or DVDs, or from certified backup.
