You mean since it was two?
Even when I have income, I get annoyed about little mysteries that make things just not work. I do not have any income, so I also get annoyed at these little expenses that pop up occasionaly. Apparently just to annoy me.
Perhaps John meant Get a Real Computer.

You are taking this way too personally. Things don't get old and break just to annoy you - it happens to everyone. Realistically, even if you fix the power supply or whatever the cause is this time, it won't be long before something else goes. That refurb box would at least advance the odds a few years.
Realistically, my abilities and my income circumscribe what I can and what I should do.
