I've seriously considered digging out my old tower and putting it back.
If you've still got access to that machine and you can set it up without help--that you likely wouldn't get--I say go for it.
Well, then, this is a day I'll feel good to be me.

And they really need her to be taught on an automatic transmission, but both their cars are manual, so she needs a teacher with a car she can learn on.
You can go from manual to automatic pretty easily. Nobody taught me now to drive an automatic. One day I got into an automatic and just figured it out on my own.
Don't know what to do about a teacher. Any family or friends that can help out?

Automatic is fairly easy I'd say ... I never learned manual, but I'm naturally shiftless.

Worth a try, but it may not work if you have to log into a domain. The computer name may have been removed from the domain.
It really sucks that they did that to you. Seems like they should have tested things out a little better beforehand.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That really isn't the problem. The problem is, teaching her to drive is going to be difficult enough, that neither her mom nor I want to do it. Learning on an automatic will be much easier than on a manual. And they don't have an automatic. She needs a driver's ed course but there's none around.

Borrow a car with automatic? if absolutely no other option, rent one?

Oh yeah, that totally makes sense.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's wild that there is no driver's ed around. I took driver's ed and "learned to drive" an automatic, but then once I had my license, the only cars I had access to were manuals, so I still had to go to a parking lot with my father. (And if it had been just my mother, I would never have learned to drive either.)

hahaha take the rental car back with a destroyed transmission and both bumpers dented, "no idea what happened! good thing we got the no-questions'asked insurance!"

I was in a rural area, but my school had driver's ed. I also drove with friends, but I pretty much just learned to drive enough to pass the test, and then learned more after by just driving more.
My mom tried to teach me once, and it was not a good thing.
