My computer is a virgin again

[gangrel_pri]

Woke up today to the fun of gothic_oreo installing my new 80GB hard drive. Mind you, this is a huge upgrade, and I got $20 off the damn thing, so I'm really happy about it.

However, something happened in the xfer of files between my old drive and my new drive. I swear, it must be all the porn I had, because all my files were corrupted!

So, most of the major programmes are re-installed and patched, and I have about an hour left on normal patching of EQ. In the meantime, I lost all of my pictures (I think some of them are still on hotmail), my stories (most still on the web, just a matter of copy/pasting 'em), and all of my music. Which means getting WinMX again.

Dave at work, however, gave me SLSC, which he claims is manna from heaven.

That'sa lotta gigabytes! My laptop only has 20, and it already feels like it's bustin' at the seams. Unfortunately, upgrading a laptop harddrive is apparently a MUCH more annoying, time-consuming and costly process, so I may very well be stuck with it. The current plan is to buy a good 40 meg mp3/portable harddrive-type player some time when they come down a bit in price, that way I won't have to take up any laptop space with muzak. In theory, anyway.

Space is a good thing. my old 13GB was almost filled.
