I dread the day I will retrieve the old computer at my parent's house and try to do something to salvage what's on it. Lots of nice old games. Almost unplayable in the state the computer is in.

Takes ages to boot, takes ages to respond to any request. Full of bugs. Was used by parents who click ''YES I WANT TO DOWNLOAD MORE RAM TO MAKE MY PC FASTER'' adds and install everything.

And it would still be packed with Internet STDs. But it would be usable.
