dead off the top, keep retarded stuff to yourself...

so one of the people my GF takes care of, had a laptop and it didnt work, and gave it to her... when she said the lady said we could have it 3 thoughts went through my brain, i can fix this, its another peice of crap around, and, i can fix this...

so i get it today, amd am kind kinda suprised, not super high end, but a Dell (i HATE Dell) Inspirion 8600, around a 20 inch model..

initial start up, wont boot, stuff is messed up...

so i work some of my magic on it, and it starts up but is extremely slow, like 20 minute boot time slow... work some more magic in Safe Mode, removing programs, returned to regular mode, and have now started sweeping the computer with AV, and speeds are picking up drastically, just like i knew it would...

the lady gave the "broken" computer to me, and i knew fully well if it powered on i could fix it... she already has a much nicer laptop...

should i offer it back, or not?

i know what i should do, but i just want to see what others would do...

she also gave me a brand new Scanner/Printer/Photo/Copy/Fax machine...

oh and a nice a$$ webcam that i was gonna use to make a porno to pay my seatbelt ticket....


thoughts?
