Yeah, I made sure the system can at least play Doom 3 at 1024x768.

But of course they didn't get Doom 3. They did quickly learn Space Cadet though!

Oh, don't worry. Their mother is quite "fierce". I'm sure she can handle them. Hehe...

So, this is as much a Tech ARP project as my own personal project.

Oh, that's because one of them was really more interested in learning how to do his homework on the PC. He kept asking me to show him where to load applications like Paint, Word, Excel, etc.

Apparently, they are now teaching kids how to use the PC in school. I'm not sure if they actually have PCs in his school, but at the very least they were given a book on PCs and some PC applications like Paint.

Yeah! They loved it! They caught on to the concept quickly and were soon hammering at the keyboard together!

LOL! Well, even my father's PC is far less powerful than theirs. I think he's using a 750MHz Duron and only 256MB of RAM. I better upgrade his PC one day.

Don't worry! I'm sure your new PC will be very much more powerful than theirs soon enough!

ROTFL! Thanks, guys, but it's really not about me.

Honestly, their smiles are totally worth the cost and effort multiplied a hundred times.

Since there are so many LICH people here, I'm thinking, you guys definitely upgrade often, right?

If so, think about donating your "old" PC. There are many people who will love to have your PC.
