Last week I visited my aunt and to my amazement I found out that she is still regularly uses the computer that I assembled for her 13 years ago and it still works!
Most of my older and retired family members have gotten rid of their desktop computers years ago and replaced them with tablets or smartphones.
But my aunt said she still likes using a desktop with an actual keyboard and a big monitor. She still loves using this computer almost every day.
So this weekend I'm going back there and I will upgrade her computer with a new power supply (the current one literally sounds like it is dying), some extra DDR3 RAM, and a SSD to replace the 13 year old HDD that could probably fail at any moment.
I feel like this is the least I could do for someone who is still determined to keep using a computer that I have built for them so long ago.
