"Interesting that our poor are online. I wonder if she's on broadband?"

There are three possible explanations of why this woman was online. (1) She was using a computer at a public library where internet service is available for free. (2) She was using a friend's computer. (3) Someone donated a old computer to her. There are many people who do fix older computes for those who are elderly, disabled, or low income.

FYI, that is how I got my computer; a former neighbor and his wife, who are also Freepers, revamped one of their old computers and donted it to me. It's not top of the line but I can get on the internet. I will be eternally grateful to that wonderful family for their old fashioned kindnesses and courtesies to me and those around them. As I become more and more housebound, this computer has become my lifeline.

Explanation (4): She bought it herself, since she spends whatever money she gets on things she wants, expecting taxpayers to take care of the things she needs.
