I showed mum some bone conduction headphones that work in the pool while you swim laps.

but you need MP3 files, because Bluetooth won't work in the water, of course

so the complaining started
she used to have all her CDs ripped to MP3

OH

OHHHH

IF ONLY SHE STILL HA--

and then I dumped at least two of her old laptops in her lap

Behold, mother, it is Ye Olde Computre, summoned forth from the voide by thine own suffering!

The voide bore witness to your suffering, and it hath yielded fruit!!

But lo, the fruit is old, and the ports are strange.

Verily, she cometh to me and asketh if I knoweth the password for Ye Olde Computre. I do not, for I am not its keeper, merely its summoner.

We seeketh the sacred ancient hymns. Verily they must be liberated from this cursèd login screen.

Clearly the field of fucks was not as barren as advertised.

@Tarale weeeelll...

You could open up the laptop, extract the disk drive, get the appropriate drive-to-USB adapter from somewhere on the internet, plug it in to your current computer, and then you should be able to just dig through the drive for the mp3 files.

At least, that's one way of doing it. If you or she were so inclined.

@Hyperlynx That feels a lot like more cognitive load that isn't my responsibility though.
