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.
