Still Recovering
Apr. 2nd, 2004 09:12 pmIt took all evening, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, to prepare the computer to install the 250G hard disk. Then Thursday night, in the space of about 20 minutes, The disk was installed, partitioned, and formatted.
Hmmm. I was resistant to XP for two years. My copy has been on my shelf for that long. I bought it as soon as it was available because I got free RAM with it. When I first installed it I found out about the registry and dropped it. It felt too much like Big Brother to me.
Now, however, I find I have succumbed to its...
[voice="mellow"]
It makes things very easy.
[voice="hyper"]
Anyway, Now I've got lots and lots and lots of room.
I partitioned the disk into two segments. The first partition contains all of the images from the cameras and Photoshop and the second one will contain all of Juli's games. ...and what ever elase comes up in Computer Recreation, for example Juli's Complete (110 years) National Geographic on disk. The 20 gig drive is still the C drive and boot drive and will contain all of the main programs, like the finances and word programs. Perhaps the small partition on the 20 gig, (5 gigs) will hold the word prosessing. Who knows? I have more room then I'll ever need for the next 5 years. ...3 years. How fast is tech advancing? How about a half a year?
Woo Hoo, we're cooking now!!!
