Most of us are 'worthy' of getting new computers... even you. ;-)  But
no one funds 'worthy' folk, unless you've got some serious connections
(fairy, indeed)... Hehe, not going into wank land on that again.

I could probably get a new computer but then I'd be unhappy in the
long run because of having to pay the expense back and then the guilt
of postponing necessary repairs and whatnot.

Maybe around Christmas I won't feel so guilty... I'll just keep
telling myself that. ;-)  I've had to shut off javascript because
Gmail *completely* freezes my home computer with IE or crashes
Firefox... Err, most of my mail is now on Gmail.  Though, the plus
side is, without javascript, the entire subject line is listed in the
incoming, etc folders.

You mean RAM?  Ouch!  I haven't had such a small amount since the late
1990s.  My first computer, back in... 1995?, had only 32megs of RAM.
