|
| 9/26/2011 2:57:55 PM | It was on sale and came with pre-installed software, some of which I use and some i don't. I wash't able to install my DVD rom or internal backup drive for lack of bays. Haven't been able to afford parts to build my main PC back up again or purchase a new PC loaded with all devices and software I had before. This PC seems to get slower & slower every week or so, but it is all I have at present that I can afford as I am retired and on a fixed income. |
