An old university friend of mine went back to her country of birth a few weeks ago and said I could have her old laptop for the kids. I was pretty chuffed about this as it really would be useful to have a spare and there's no way i could afford another one of that size. I went across London to pick up the laptop only to find that it was not the laptop she used before her latest but a very old Sony with the space bar missing. When I plugged it in I found the thing didn't even turn on. So I took it to the repair shop where they said they would try to fix it for a few quid - no such luck as apparently it had short circuited where she had dropped some wine on it (they could tell from the chemicals apparently??). As it obviously had no more life in it I left it with the repair man. Now my friend is saying I shouldn't have left it there. I don't think IABU because she told me she didn't want it any more, and it's a tad cheeky to give someone something knowing it doesn't work (she admitted she knew that but said she thought it could be fixed) - but I am prepared to be told if I was BU. What do you think?
