I'm soooooooo tired of the performance of my laptop. It takes about ten minutes from power on to cruising altitude.

*Yaaawn...*

Just thinking about it makes me really yawn.

So, I intend to take it down to the bare metal. I'm going to re-fdisk the hard disk, reinstall xp, all the service packs, office, and about 30 different applications I wrote down. I hope I don't reinstall the crap that has accumulated from the many months since the last time I went through this.

I will be incommunicado in the meantime, so I have a strong motivation to get myself back online. I don't reckon you'll all miss me much but I'll miss you. Who knows, maybe I'll be back online today. Unlikely, but possible. Hmm. Maybe I'll reinstall Firefox first. But then I may never finish the rest of the system. Oh well.

See y'all soon!
