Nov. 4th, 2010 08:33 pmComputer doing funny stuff* more and more. Resident computer expert and I concur: need to reinstall OS. Seriously considering making the jump to Win7**. Either way, may be offline this weekend while doing Serious Computery Stuff.
Am making full backup of contents of My Documents right now.***
ETA: I truly appreciate all the suggestions on my breakfast posts! I will try to answer them, but if I fail, it's partly because of All This and partly just because I suck at answering all comments. :)
* It's doing that thing more often where, when it boots into Windows, the logo comes up very faint and just sticks. Used to be, I'd just leave it alone and it would eventually fix itself and continue the boot, but not any more. I have to turn it off manually. We're not sure what's happening, but at any rate the OS has never been reinstalled, so now's as good a time as any.
** It's on XP right now. I was able to get it right before they stopped offering it and forced you to get VIsta.
*** Resident Computer Expert and Professional Paranoid has us set up with a nice backup system for the Most Important Files that get backed up in two different places, although he is not yet Professionally Paranoid Enough to have offsite storage for more than what goes in his Dropbox. Getting a safety deposit box is on the List of Things to Do, for precisely this reason.
