Moving on

I'm moving on from my current laptop to a new one. And just in time too. My c drive is filling up like nobody's business.

I think I have, however, found out what's taking up the space on my laptop. It's patch files from Microsoft. Not sure if it's just Office or Office and Windows, but to find out which ones I can delete, I have to go through each one and check if it's in the registry or not. In other words, a full days work at the best, considering there's 12GB worth of them, and most of them are 4MB in size. Having said this, I've thought I've know what the problem is on several occasions, and it's been a dead end every time, so I won't hold my breath this time either.

I've had help from Newbie, and after spending a whole weekend scanning and posting logs, not to mention sheer frustration waiting for the darn things to finish, my laptop working on "snail about to die" speed.

But all that is about to end. Tomorrow :) When my new Toshiba Satellite Pro arrives. And yes, I will be happy to spend the time getting it up and running and moving the most important stuff over from my old laptop. Providing there is nothing wrong with the new one.

Just my luck it won't work. Just like with my luck the work laptop has decided to start playing up last weekend. Turns out it's the explorer process which hangs, but oh so annoying when you have to restart it several times in order to get all your programs to run properly.

Oh well, one of these days I might have more luck with laptops, and in the meanwhile I will enjoy my new one and persevere with my work one.
