Folks...
Many of you over the last couple of months have been advised by me that this is a real good deal on Amazon if you were looking to get a new computer.

It just went back on sale and is EVEN LESS EXPENSIVE!
This was an amazing deal at $380!
It's $322 today!
If your computer is > 5 years old... Consider purchasing this.
I can move your files if you need me to.
That uses an Intel Celeron processor. That's the LOW-budget, cheapest, least efficient, slowest processor that Intel makes. The clock speed is only 1.1 and at turbo it's 2.8GHz. That's really slow, compared to today's "normal use" machines. The fact that it's just a dual core and not at LEAST a quad core would be concerning, unless the ONLY thing you ever did on it was check your e-mail, play solitaire, and write papers on Word.
