Just like horses, some computers need to be taken out behind the shed and shot.
Lynx is going to jump on me and say you can run linux on an old clunker, but you have to run such a stripped GUI with around 256mb-512mb of ram it's just no fun, plus the ancient CPU that came with it, and nah I'll pass.
I mean, I have a 386, three 486's, Two Pentium I's with MMX, and then in slot form PII-PIII in various configurations, plus a socketed version of a PII. But only 3-5 of those are built at any one point in time and they are for old games of various vintages.

Although Puppy Linux can run on surprisingly low hardware if you make a swap partition. And it's surprisingly easy to use, although still not for the Linux novice.

The old boxes I have around don't run Linux... they run various old flavors of windows and/or DOS for when it tickles my fancy to play something ancient.
I.... am fussy about computers. The dual core at work is torture to me. Seriously the thing just sucks.
Bank business I go to my Bank of America site and it says can't display page.....some browser something or other....maddening.....but we got the big computer and it lets me do my business. So all is not lost.....just want to kill the notebook.....can I beat it with the new hammer yet?......Maybe not......Blond really wants too though.....that is it's future at some point.
Every person seems to have different thought processes. I tend to be more intuitive and think more in associations, images, and some abstract thought processes, so it can be hard for me to put my thoughts into communicable words at times. I would imagine that someone who is deaf would likely think more in terms of images and things they take in via sight. I often wonder about the blind too, how are their thought processes without the use of images in their mind to relate words to? It is quite interesting to contemplate. I think that scent and taste can play big factors in thinking at times (or at least what I have noticed in memory recollection).I love the fact that NOONE had an answer for this..............shoot, me either.............But is it not a good question?
Maybe we should ask them? Hmm.............I would suppose if they went to a school to learn to communicate, it would be whatever language the school used. But what about before?
Blind does not mean one can hear, so they can be thinking in languages. As for visualizing objects or concepts such a color, they probably rely on someone describing such to them. Maybe I'll research some of Helen Keller's writings to see if she spoke of this.

EXCERPT FROM ARTICLE
Those who were born completely deaf and only learned sign language will, not surprisingly, think in sign language. What is surprising is those who were born completely deaf but learn to speak through vocal training will occasionally think not only in the particular sign language that they know, but also will sometimes think in the vocal language they learned, with their brains coming up with how the vocal language sounds. Primarily though, most completely deaf people think in sign language. Similar to how an “inner voice” of a hearing person is experienced in one’s own voice, a completely deaf person sees or, more aptly, feels themselves signing in their head as they “talk” in their heads.

SO, IS IT BLOND........OR..........BLONDE?
(excerpt)
the words “blond” and “blonde” are not wholly synonymous. So what’s the difference between the words “blond” and “blonde”? (besides the obvious extra ‘e’)
The difference is simply in what gender the word is referring. When referring to a woman with yellow hair, you should use the feminine spelling “blonde”. When referring to a male with yellow hair, you should use the spelling “blond”.

Yeah, that's not your computer's fault. That's Bank of America's fault. Their website will only allow certain browsers to work on their site. It's a security thing. See if you can find internet explorer somewhere in your computer and use that. IE sucks eggs, but eh... whatever works.
