> buy a newer (but not necessarily new) computer? Are you paying for it? I know quite a few people that would like to have a replacement. Hardware costs money, and it's hard to justify that expense when you 1) already have a working (if slow) computer, and 2) are living near the poverty line. (why that little money? Try living on SSDI (disability) or the realities of living with racism/sexism/ageism/etc. A computer can be a worthwhile expense, but that doesn't mean it's something that can be replaced easily)
