OMG I am so fuming mad!!!  I got a really nice desktop computer for Christmas of 2005, since I am not always able to stay sitting up for hours on end I used the laptop I had as it was way more convenient & I could set it up on a TV try & lay down & Sim.  When my laptop died I had to take back my desktop or have nothing.  While my Mom had it (no I am NOT mad at my Mother) she had a guy put some things on it so she could use it (my mother is almost blind & uses a guide dog), she has some programs & such & laptop that is specifically for blind people......doesn't even have a screen, that she needed to be able to link so she could e-mail her reports in to her boss.  Well this desktop originally had 2Gigs of RAM, & it was a fairly fast computer in 2005.  Now this guy "worked" on my/Mom's computer & he "had to take it to his house" to work on it.  OK mind you Mike & I have not really done anything with that PC after telling Mom she could use it as she liked.  So the computer goes with this guy & then he brings it back.  It did what Mom needed it to do......which as far as computers are concerened was beyong easy.......sending word documents is nothing for computers.  So my Mom didn't actually need gobs of memory or a nice video-card........but this guy charged $ & what really happened; he took this nice pC to his house took out our nice parts put crummy parts back in it + charged for doing the work + he also bought/billed for UPGRADING it!  BS! (sorry sensors)  But major BULL _____!  I am including some pix of what my Sims look like when in shower & that will give you a clue.  I don't get to see fish in the tanks or ponds!  AND I CAN'T HAVE ANY CUSTOM CONTENT!  We have to go out & buy decent parts for the computer that was built with decent parts just because some guy thought it would "be OK to rip off the blind lady".  He did not know it was MY computer but that it was my Mother's.  But this guy is long gone & Mom does not even know his info anymore cuz it was like 2yrs ago he did the work.  And of course Mom never noticed anything because the only graphics she ever "uses" is pogo to play "Pop-It".  So of course my Mom never noticed anything.  No wonder the guy asked her "does anyone else use this computer?", we thought it was just so he would know wheather to make it usable for a sighted person as well or just her who hardly usess icons & graphics.  But NOW we know the REAL reason why he asked.  Had she said "Oh my daughter uses it to Sim" he probably would not have thought he could get away with it.  But what's done is done.

 OK now I can't remember how to upload an image so I'll just try putting screenshots up of my messed up Sims.
