“Now the computer won’t even boot up in safe mode...It was 8 years old...now it awaits a trip to the recycle bin.”

If you’re going to do that... might you be willing to give Linux a try on it? Ubuntu (www.ubuntu.com) is an easy-to-use variant that might breathe some new life into that now-dead PC.

I have a box with Ubuntu. Every time I boot it there are about 50 updates waiting to load. Does that happen to you too?

I’ll try the Ubuntu 10.04 on it when it comes out. Yes I see that it is free :-)
