Am currently undergoing prayer, fasting and meditation (I typed "medication" at first, which might be more apropos), in preparation for moving everything over to the new computer I bought last month. Some people, when applying retail therapy to life stress, buy shoes, or chocolate, or CDs; I apparently indulge in electronics. If one adds this to the current machine, the old POS desktop I still have lying around, and the laptops, I have ... um, way too many computers for one person. (*is embarrassed*)

(This is the new baby, and yeah, I know, eMachines, but I've seen a lot of tech press to the effect that their quality has greatly improved since they were acquired by Gateway. This particular model's gotten very good reviews; though it's pretty basic, I am enamored of the front-side built-in flash media reader, and you can't beat the price with a stick. Plus, DVD burner! Wheeeee!)

Anyway, I am staring at my C:\ drive in dismay. Good lord, it's appalling how much *stuff* has accumulated on here in the past three years. (sighing, rolling up sleeves)

I empathize. I've just bought a Compaq RZ3430US to replace my beloved but ancient and literally-falling-apart Toshiba Satellite. The latter is still working (which I'm hoping will continue to be the case until the new one gets here, so I'm trying not to talk about replacements where it can hear me), but more and more and more slowly and dirtily and...yeah.

With any luck, I'll spend next week transferring stuff. And cleaning. And "packing". And throwing stuff out. When did switching computers get to look so much like moving across the country?
