Yesterday was a beautiful day, again. The weather broke just in time for me to mow my lawn and paint a little more of the porch. Yayyyy.
Unfortunately I didn't have time to get out to a local computer store to work on having one custom-designed to fit my needs. (Sorry, Gort.) But I did manage to run a scandisk and a defrag on my PC in Windows mode, since just running a scandisk in DOS mode last weekend didn't seem to do anything.
The scandisk took a few hours to run, and this is even after I had shut down everything else running in the background. But that was nothing compared to the defrag, which ran from about 3:30 yesterday afternoon to about 1:00 today - twenty-one and a half hours. Well, it's been a while since the last one.
Of course, as soon as I restarted the computer, out popped a flurry of errors. Oh, well. As long as this one lasts long enough for me to buy a new one and pull all my data off this one, I'll be happy.

Ugh! Sounds like a nightmare!
ReplyDeleteI'm holding onto my current clunker with TLC until the Vista computers come out. (Whenever that is!)...
Meanwhile... I treat this one sooooo carefully. And hold a deep breath with every download...
Har, what year did computers come out, and now we are SO addicted to them, no? What did people do without the internet as well.....
