Happy Birhday to Me!

Well, I wasn't around today because, last night my hard drive decided to say goodbye for the last time. I am happy and grateful, OH SO GRATEFUL, to report that I have a new laptop.

I did happen to back up everything last month but, now I have to figure out how to transfer from XP to Vista. Fortunately, I have a friend on Facebook that sent me a link that might help me.

As always, if I ever find something interesting, I try to pass that along to my readers. So, who knows? Maybe this link can help you as well?

Anyway, instead of a Dell, I have a Gateway that is much, much fancier than the other one I had. So, even though my hard drive fried, I'm having a pretty good birthday!

Never let bad things fool you. They are mostly just life's blessings coming at you in weird wrapping paper.

Oh, and I am 29 again this year!

My Slow Laptop

So, the past few weeks, my laptop has been going back and forth. Some days, it works great, while other days, it's been a pain in the butt. It goes slow and my internet connection just isn't what it used to be. I'm on wireless now. Mostly, just to save money. The wireless connection is pretty fast but, not what I had with a cable connection.

Anyway, I couldn't even get signed on the internet today. It just wouldn't even respond. I tried everything. Everything else seemed to be working just fine so, I figured it was the internet connection. Finally, I decided to do the general stuff i.g. scan, update, remove temp files. I was finally able to get back on line doing that.

So, I started looking for some way to optimize my laptop for free and found this. I love it! You can sign up for an upgrade version, which is 20 bucks, I think. I just loaded the free version and it's awesome. You can read for yourself what it does but, anyway...this laptop is working great now. I figured I'd share.

I haven't really had time to focus on anything else so, here's my blog entry for today. I figured I had to post something.
