Cutter's Log - Stardate 8002.11.80
Current Song - Money (Pink Floyd)

As I might have shared many times on here, the computer at home is shared by the entire family. I run my NISB, IHSGD and other stuff on it, and everyone else runs their stuff on it. We've had this Gateway computer since March of 2000. So we've had it for over eight years, which in computer years is about 150 human years.

The C: drive holds up to 18.6 GB. It's that ancient. My traveldrive is 1 GB itself. We've only got 1.19 GB of space left. That means we all have to get rid of a bunch of things to make the hard drive more free. The bulk of these things are music file drives that Mike, Chris and Dan have (Windows media, limewire, etc.). I've got files that can be backed up onto floppy discs if I so choose.

So most of this night, I'm trying to free up what I have and get rid of what I don't need. Decisions, decisions.

Recycle Bin - I hardly ever delete anything out of it. Done.

Cookies - Burp.

Temporary internet files - which means I'll have to wait for things to load more. Done.

*Hard drive use just shrunk 0.12 GB to 1.31 GB left*

Web history - kinda sucks because I use this as a shortcut. I save mine 3 weeks. Done, but kept important pages.

Desktop items - things with not as much priority as others. Done.

"What I need is another stick drive for my personal pictures!"

NISB Folder - lots of stuff that I never completed. Most of the word files I don't use are gone. I've uploaded my past audio files onto my traveldrive.

To be continued ...
