More Memory

When I bought my Asus laptop about three years ago, the specs were already pretty good. I had a 160GB hard drive that I had partitioned in two, so that means I had 80GB of memory for each drive. I used Drive C for my programs while Drive D was for my files.

But now I think I only have about 5GB of memory space left on my Drive D and my computer is already getting slow. My external hard drive of another 160GB is not helping anymore because it is almost full.

Imagine that, I have accumulated so much files in the past 3 years. And these are not jsut small files because I do layouts so I really have big files for my clients. And well, yeah, I also have a lot of pictures.

Then my friend told me that Asus offers online storage that I would really like to try. I think it is much like document management ireland but that this is for free? Or so I was told. It was for Asus users to take advantage of.

I have yet to check it out though. But the easiest thing would be to buy maybe a 3TB of extra hard disk space but I don’t have extra money to spare. We just bought an LCDTV so no budget for gadget purchases like that. Tsk tsk. I have been asking people to donate one for me. hahaha

Cleaning my Hard Drive

Ugh…my hard drive really needs a clean up. Well, it is not literally dirty, but it is messy. As in messy, like our room. There is just so much stuff everywhere. I can just imagine stuff on the table, on the floor, in the toilet, in the bathroom etc. It is like that in my laptop. No organization at all. Well, the system is, there is no system at all. :-p

Anyway, I would like to be able to sit down and spend maybe half a day just to sort out through my thousands of files and properly sorting them. They need to be placed in properly labeled folders for future reference. Additionally, I need to do that because my laptop is part of our home’s computer network that is linked to our store. That means my husband and his staff can access my computer. So if they need a file from me, it would be easier for them if I have directory sync. They would not have to scavenge through my files or use the search option every time.

Sigh…But when would I really have the time? Huh? When?

In between changing nappies and feeding my baby, when is the right time? I know it is now, but well I am still blogging.
