Computer stuff
Dec. 8th, 2007 06:21 pmHaving a new computer has shown me how slow my old one is. I'm deleting all the files on the old machine that are on my new one or the external hard drive (with the exception of some pictures that I'd like in my screensaver and my music). I'm also going to defrag it, though I need to come up with a bit more space. Now I'm uninstalling my demo of GIS, which takes up 942 MB!!! And this uninstallation is taking forever. (It estimates 54 22 98 68 35 28 more minutes. (I'm sure it will change again by the time you read this.) GIS is so insanely huge! But it's a very complex program, so it makes sense. I'm relieved to be done with it for now. I'm so bad at it.)
Defragging is annoying and takes forever on my slow old Lappy, which is probably why I never did it. Also because it ate up all of the computer's functioning, and I couldn't do anything else on the machine. But now I can defrag easily, and just use the new computer. And when I need to defrag the new computer, I can just use the old one!
Defragging should be done monthly. I know. I'm a bad person. But I'll try to be better now that i won't die if I can't use my computer for a while.
