Hey, look! Spare parts!

Well I got Mom’s new computer installed and up and running. So I took her old one home to spruce up to new. Just like it was in those sweet days of the year 2000. Turns out it really was Y2K compliant.

So I pull off the cover to discover 5 years of dust, but what to my wandering eyes should appear? But two hard drives! I didn’t remember putting another hard drive in here, but apparently I did. And why didn’t I take the old one out? Weird. So I wonder if the other hard drive is actually bad, since I can’t remember putting the new one in, I sure can’t remember why I would have. I guess I’ll try getting it to work, and if it does, I guess the machine will have two hard drives now.

Go figure.

    Are you serious? It had a second hard drive in it? The only thing we did to that computer is add ethernet (is that what hooks two computers together?) I remember you put a new hard drive in Duane’s computer. I can remember looking at them with you at a Best Buy or some store like that. Is it possible it came that way?

    I was wondering about the dust….is there a way to keep this one cleaner, especially with the clear sides?

    you go out and buy one of those handy compress air cans and blow it out every so often. but living in kansas its hard to keep dust from getting in there
