I offered to freshen it up but neither of them like that idea. They never have.
They'll probably just buy another laptop...they have 4 atm
This was my laptop that we've had since 2008. I gave it to them to use in 2010. It had an install of 7 I put on it in 2009 when it was first released. It shipped with Vista Basic and chugged, a lot. It has a Celeron 1.8GHz single core, 80GB HDD and shipped with 1GB RAM, I bumped it up to 2GB though. It's still slow, but does what they want it to.
