She's promised to give me a review once she gets it all set up!
My friend Joyce wants to purchase a faster PC. I'd sold her my former NEC Ready desktop, which was a Pentium 166 MMX with a 2.1 GB hard drive and 96 MB of memory and a 24x CD ROM drive. She already had a monitor. Here are some great prices on new desktops without a monitor - Joyce, if you want to upgrade your monitor to a larger one, see my Monitors page!
