label: Description
content: This particular IBM Aptiva was acquired second-hand by the donor, Leslie Ann Jenson, in 2000, when she began a fulltime teaching position at a Catholic high school in Virginia Beach, Virginia. She used this, her first personally owned computer, primarily for email and grading student work, as well as in her first online job application. The latter proved successful, she went overseas, and the Aptiva gave way to other devices.
