Well, I think you should go... it sounds like fun :~)

In other news... I’m seriesly cleaning out my computer, and trying to resist the temptation to just delete everything I don’t recognize.

This computer has really been remarkable. It’s been running almost continuously since Windows 98 was new. Several upgrades later and more storage space added, and it’s still a darn good computer. But it’s been starting to get cludgy and I’ve been cleaning house.

I gave up trying to clean/fix mine and took it to the repair place.

They’re deleting anything that hasn’t been used in 2 years, upgrading the memory and upgrading the hard drive from 60GB to 160GB. Should have it back any day now.

I wish I hadn’t deleted a lot of older documents wayyy back when. Mainly I did one system restore that I thought was an overwrite, but actually put the system back to factory default. Lost any and all e-mail or writing or what-have-you that I had before about 2000. :-\

Now I’m better about backing up, but I have stuff tucked away in odd places. Part of what has me fired up about guitar stuff is that this weekend I came across a cache of old e-mail messages from a computer I had back then. Most of them are junk, of course, but there were a lot that reminded me of a lot of the interests and contacts I all but dropped after Mom was sick and I lost my job and that whole rough year.

I think it’s time to move on...or back. Or something. ;-)
