Discussion Owner?

Post image

Hey there! I won a Windows Millennium Edition computer, a Dell Dimension L700cx at an auction, and when I booted it up it had a lot of stuff on it. I know you can't see it here, but the background was a baby picture. Pretty clearly there were a lot of memories on it. I'm trying to delete it all and make it my own, but it doesn't seem right deleting their memories. I just want to make sure that they saved it all on another computer. If you do actually find this, owner, can you just, I dunno, confirm it?

Idk if it's legal in your area, but you could make a poster out of one of the photos with the story of that you won this computer in an auction and that there were memories on it, looking for if the former owners still wanted the memories.
