Lately
my little computer has been showing its age. Files have taken longer
to open and to save, and more often I've gotten a “not responding”
message.
I'd
started to look at laptops in the weekend ads from big box stores.
But
I don't want to learn Windows 8, and what use is a touch screen?
Besides, our household is still digesting the expense of a new water
heater.
So
this past weekend as snow and fog kept me inside, I decided my
computer needed a spring cleaning.
I
deleted the download cache, transferred little-used video and audio
files to my backup hard drive, and ran some overdue diagnostics. I
discarded in-progress versions of long-completed projects. And I
emptied the recycle bin.
Now
the C and D drives show significantly more free space. And this past
hour, each function again seems normal.
Looks
like the next few assignment checks can instead go toward the water
heater.
