Not too shabby?
This thing is super slow!


Took it to the library, to write up some word documents, take notes, and the such.
Froze up about 2-3 times.
Given, it has been through a lot..
Thinking about putting xubuntu on it.

I'll think it over!

When was the last time you ran Defrag?

Best way to speed it up is:..........

Go to Add/Remove Programs and remove all the games and junk that you haven't used in the past year.

Then run Defrag.........this will take hours if it's really messy.

Then install more RAM. The little laptop is doing alot with just a little RAM.

Cleaned it out about a year ago or so.
It's been stowed away in the bag sitting next to me.
Never really used it for much.
I still need to fix the partitions.
I don't really want to wipe (format) and start over again, as my dad said finding the drivers were a real SOB.

Since that today I realized it was a pig, I'm gonna start running my stuff all over it.
Gotta fix this sucker up!

I see a few of these going for 150+ on fleabay.
Perhaps I should wipe it, and just sell it (well, boot n nuke this thing first), and just pick up a newer laptop.

But I don't think my parents would be willing to do that, working towards my MBook Pro for college! 3 more years...
