few problems--my stereo consists of a boombox. Literally. Actually 2 of them, one in the living room, one in the bedroom. Also how do you convert tapes to digital? Most of my music is on CD, but I do have a few tapes. I am sure many underprivileged families and schools would love my computer, if they can get their hands on a monitor. Monitors shouldn't be too expensive, or they can find one on craigslist or whatever. Actually I know of an after school tutoring program that might be really grateful for it. But I should find a tech type person that knows about cleaning the files. Thanks for the info.
