4) a computer desk
5) two computer monitors (one is 19", which is really nice for me right now)
6) a souped-up computer (AMAZING video card!)
7) lots of dvd roms
8) ZIP drive with 10 disks (I love zip drives!)
9) amazing speakers
.... I was thanking them up and down! It was great!! I gave them fifty bucks as a thank-you, but guys.... I just got like...$3000 worth of perfectly good, functioning stuff! I'll likely sell some of the dvd drives on eBay :0P

My cynicism level would be through the roof is that was me. Having not been on the receiving end of that level of generosity I'd be wondering if it was either stolen or faulty.

I'm ashamed to say that I would be the exact same.
I couldn't accept any of those things without knowing WHY they were leaving, and WHY they were giving it to me.
Evidence? Finger prints? Need to get out of town quickly and can't risk a plasma slowing them back? Where's the body? Who are these people? That Italian accent sounds fake. OMG is that the outline of a gun that I can see on the side of her skirt? - well, you get my general thinking.
It must be nice to not be riddled with neurosis. Enjoy your gifts!
