I have encountered many, too durn many, computer ‘consultants’ who, within 5 minutes of ‘examination’ started a list of ‘must’ replacements. I had one client where the ‘consultant’ advised replacing the power cord…
The single valid recommendation that I always agreed with was if the computer does not start at all, check the power supply!

“…archaic version of your web server.”
Web server in a personal computer? in the 90s?

“But we have Netscape 3.0! It fully supports HTML 2.0!”

LOL, Webspider! As I was reading it, I was thinking “Web server?? That’s odd…” I agree that she meant to say web browser. :-)

That’s what happens when you live in a throw-away society. Nothing can be repaired, just throw it away and buy, buy, buy new.
