It's time, I need to clean up my PC, tamper with the registry, the CD/DVD burner doesn't work, as of yet, and so I pry open my wallet and splurge for a Terabyte Hard drive (external).
This should allow me to do a backup of files.
And it does, in a way, only a 45 GB backup takes 48 hours. 48 freaking hours!!!
The USB 3, whatever that is, doesn't appear to be supported by my PC. Funny, while I looked over all the features of the new drive (CNET pick of the year, small, needs no external power...), I failed to note that it was SLOW AS MOLASSES IN JANUARY. SLOW AS CANADA POST!!!
Mind you, that wasn't a feature bragged about on the box.
But now, finally, it's reasonably current and as soon as I have even just a little bit of spare time I can begin cleaning and fixing it up.
