Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | HELP Me find my DAD a new PC !! please ??? My dad wants ME to choose a home computer for him - he likes HP but doesn't need it for much cept email and checking ONE website - so I'm thinking he should be able to get one for UNDER $300 Anyone know where I can do this online or a store we can get one from ? I'm leary of doing it online due to identity theft and he's 80 years old - I don't want to be running store to store with him...I called a few places yesterday and didn't hear anything that sounded like a great deal - and with it being after Christmas I would think someone is offering a good sale for Desktop PC's I'm looking for a great DEAL and would love any suggestions !! Thank you !!! |

| What a great daughter you are V. My mom is 84 and wanted one like mine (Dell), but it is way to much for her and her lack of PC experience. She would have been much happier getting one from Wal Mart. They have some pretty good deals on them. Maybe try there?

| Hey V, Just wanted to say good luck in your search! I've had an Acer (a long time ago!) but never heard bad things about them! Never heard of Everex. Also, I know that eMachines are good, less expensive computers for the same thing as a $500 more HP or Dell or whatever. You're paying for the name with those computers. My mom has an eMachine and she loves it! She uses the Internet pretty frequently but that's about it on her computer, but it's working well and she's had it for 1 1/2 years...so I would tell ya to check out them! GOOD LUCK

| Hey V - I have an emachine from Walmart and it works just fine for the little that I do on it at home. I had initially bought it for my BF's son when he came to live with us but when they moved out it stayed

| Hi Villette, I don't know if your dad would be against a "hand me down" computer, but I have a pretty decent Dell system that I purchased two years ago (and at that time, it had all of the "best of the best" components in it) - that I no longer use.... between mine and the kids' I think there's 4 computers 'round here... and NO house needs that many computers! I'd be happy to send it to you for your dad, if you think it would be alright for him.... might take me a few days to get organized and get it out to you, but I'd be happy to do it. (no charge of course). I understand if he'd rather have a new one, but thought I'd offer. Let me know what you think. Dena
