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)

Perhaps I should have tried prayer, fasting, and meditation.... I got the new one a month ago and still have *both* of them hooked up (through the router), because I keep finding things I forgot to tranfer over.

Not to mention re-installing the applications, which took *forever.* Everything seems to be working now, but only after a lot of hair-tearing and wailing and cursing.

You'd think that getting a new computer would be fun and exciting, but really it's all stress! Maybe I should have called in a mashkiach...
