PC Blues
My PC has just hit the wall. I did not have enough free space on my C drive to do a defrag. So I backed up the entire drive and then deleted lots and lots of stuff. Still no joy, so I moved all my documents and all my games off onto another drive. Finally -- enough space to defrag.
But I know when it's time to migrate. Now. So I am looking into having a new PC built. This time I'll have a Linux operating system, and a big enough graphics card to support Second Life. Did I mention that Second Life sits still and dies on my current PC? That is a sure sign that it's upgrade time.
Once I have a new Linux machine I'll have this old one reformatted to have one drive, and then I'll bring back the stuff I've put on a backup drive. Windows 2000 Professional still works for me, so that is what will go on the reformatted machine. No way that Vista will ever get near a machine of mine. Microsoft has gone beyond the bounds with its DRM enforcement. A Pox on them, on the RIAA, and on universities that give out information so their students can be harrassed.
