| Apparently my Grandma got in a conversation with her neighbor and it somehow led to her telling him that I was into computers, and he said that he had a bunch of modern computer stuff that I could have. I'm really ecstatic here. |

| I'm not entirely sure, but probably useful things. Hell, even if it's a computer from 2005< I'll find a use for it. |

No, I made sure that it was from 2005+.
@Forum
Indeed.
@Swag
Well, it depends on what I get. If it's an old computer, I'll put Linux on it, if it's a monitor with a higher res than my current one, I'll use it... I'm not really sure, as I believe their neighbor's son used to be into computers, so they might have some nice stuff. |

Well, it certainly would be convenient as my previous laptop broke down not long ago. (It was a piece of junk, anyways...)
I'll probably but Linux on the laptop if I get one. I doubt it would be good, but hey, a portable computer is a portable computer. |

| I'm hoping for an IBM-Model M if they have one. I seriously doubt they do, but that would be AMAZING as I really want a Mechanical keyboard and that is supposedly one of the best. |
