I suspect the television was from one of the rent-to-own type companies. They will have it for a few months and then it gets repoed. I also suspect the family wasn't completely rock bottom needy if they were asking for a computer. I do a lot of work as a guardian ad litem for the local juvenile center and come into contact with really needy families. These families are asked to come up with a Christmas wish list and invariably the parents always ask for clothes for themselves and their kids. The kids ask for clothes and sometime things like a basketball. If they ask for a electronic device most times it is a gameboy or a MP3 player so they can have something like their friends have. It can really wrench your heart to read these wish lists. I have never, ever read one where they asked for a computer or a tv.
