Good point Bob,

My son would take the computer. Will have to remind him to
wipe it. My hubby
would probaly use a damp cloth if I told him that, LOL

Yes, it was Nightsneak.   If memory serves me correctly, I
wrote a little
blurb after she died about remembering to set up a system
for others to deal
with your computer after one dies.  Passwords, files, all
kinds of things
reside on our computers now.  I know MY wife wouldn't have a
clue what to do
with my computer.  Not only should someone you trust have
access....but if
the computer is to be disposed of, will your heirs know
enough to wipe the
hard drive properly to remove all your personal information?
 Or would they
simply throw away the computer, or give it away.
...........something to think about!
