New Computer
My current desktop is badly buggy. It disconnects from the Internet unexpectedly. It freezes if a program is forced to multi-task or if the browser has more than five or six tabs open. It's crashed three times in the last month.
I thought about a factory reset, then did the math and realized my computer is more than five years old. Time for a new one.
Got it yesterday and connected it to Carbonite. It's now busily downloading the latest backup from my current computer and cloning itself. (I thought about getting an imaging program that might work faster, but the imaging programs I found seem to have been written for people with PhDs in computer science, and I also remembered that I pay $80 a year for Carbonite and why the hell wouldn't I just use that?) I've hard-wired it to the internet router to speed up the process, but it's still going to take until tomorrow.
