Cause I Made Up Mind, I'm Keeping My Vaio.

I've spent the past couple of days cleaning the C drive on my outdated but beloved Sony Vaio, Estelle. Yes, I'm a PC.

AOL, which I've used since 1992, is virtually useless these days as a loaded program because it's now on the Internet all prettified and free for all to use. So two days ago I deleted the software and in the blink of an eye an entire gigabyte of space and then some fell right onto my lap, free as a bird, sporting a bright and shiny 'To Let' sign.

This morning I retrieved an additional 600 MBs getting rid of Hotfix Uninstallers that until today I knew not of.

It's not that I'm opposed to getting a pretty new Vaio notebook. I like shiny new toys as much as the next person. It's just that I really don't need a new PC. There is also a little thing called Gigapocket Explorer I love to bits that lets me watch and record TV while I'm working or playing online.

Gigapocket Explorer, I'd miss you the most.

And besides, I have 50 gigs of virgin harddrive I've just been using as a closet that's sitting unused and unloved on the D Drive waiting around for something fun to happen.

So for now I'm keeping my Vaio. I just saved $2 Grand.

I'm so happy.
