5. Why is your XP computer just gathering dust?

Is it just because you are afraid to use it because XP is no longer supported? Because you can still use it. But if you computer has crashed, you would probably have needed a new one anyways.

I do understand what you are saying though. I have always hated change, even when I was younger, so you can imagine how I don't like it now. I think that I would be ok with newer computer programs if I had someone to show me all the things I knew how to do with the old program though. I am not opposed to learning....I am opposed to beating my head against the wall.
