If I were so lucky to have $1,000 simply fall into my lap, I'd waste no time in converting said cash into a computer. Really, there's nothing I'd want to spend it on more than getting a nice new box, one that's actually been made within the last five years, rather than without. (Yeah, I'm using a computer from 2003. I'm poor. So what?)

Hey, if you have a spare grand lying around, tell me. I'd be happy to take it off your hands, and get myself a new computer with it.
