ALMOST. DONE.
Um. I'm sort of back. By which I mean, I'm reformatted.
But I also mean that my laptop thinks it has a mouse instead of a touchpad, which is a problem easily solved if I install the driver for the touchpad, which I can't do unless I know which touchpad I have, which I can't find out because my laptop is convinced that it's a mouse. And Norton Corporate, which 2 seperate tech guys swear by so it must be decent, thinks it can fool me by saying it has the latest definitions when it clearly has a blank under "virus definition version". And I am missing my bookmarks so if anyone could point me in the direction of the Haruhi search engine... well, that's the one I miss the most I think, everything else I can find later.
In other exciting news, I learned that I have 512 MBs of RAM instead of the 2 GBs my dad said I had. I never bothered checking it myself because I thought he would know, having bought the computer as a graduation gift and all, except that it turns out he doesn't know the difference between virtual memory and RAM and I actually have pathetic amounts of RAM so I owe some major apologies to BitComet, which I have yelled at ona regular basis because I believed that it was the sole cause of any lag I experienced, because 2 gigs of RAM should be able to handle even the clunkiest torrent client.
Uh. In other news. Does anyone know if its possible to configure setting of my touchpad while my computer still thinks it's a mouse? Because it swears it's a mouse but it still does the tap-click thing which makes me want to drop-kick puppies. Seriously I accidentally navigated off this page 5 times while typing this entry. And my scroll bar won't work.
