There are certain basic components that one needs for their computer, other than the internal components. A display, keyboard, mouse and speakers are generally all necessary. Well let’s say that for whatever reason, you have no speakers, but need to find a way to output audio. Let’s also assume that you have a spare hard drive that you’re willing to dissect, and a few other key components. If you’re in this situation, you may yet be able to get those…

If you were a kid during the 90’s, you almost certainly remember Tamogotchi. They were little keychains that contained a virtual pet. You would feed them, do activities with them, and they would respond according to how you took care of them. I never saw the point in them, as I had a real dog that I found far more entertaining.

However, not everyone has enough money to afford both computers, or simply doesn’t see reason in having two.
