Along with my monitor, desk, chair, and printer. My goal was to give my Mom something to do other than sitting in a chair watching game shows all day. Now she e-mails me everyday, searches the web for her favorite things, and has started her own blog (<a href="http://olddigger.blogspot.com">olddigger.blogspot.com</a>). Ok, so now she sits in a chair all day playing on the computer, lol. But the difference is she is interacting with something, keeping her mind sharp, and learning new things. Plus she can now do online banking and check up on things that interest her. I just built a new computer for myself a few months ago and gave my old one to my Mom.

It still points to a huge segment of the population being sacrificed as a "human cost" to these cost saving initiatives, though.
