[AccessD] The old laptop is slowing down

 <<Is it just perception?>>

  No.

<<Is it an accumulation of crap?>>

  Yes.  The registry never really cleans itself out.

<<Do I need a reinstall?>>

  It helps.

<<Maybe a move from Vista to Windows 7, with a clean 
install along the way?  An SSD?>>

  Well load Windows 3.11 and you'll be absolutely AMAZED how fast it
runs<g>.

Subject: [AccessD] The old laptop is slowing down

It is sad and somewhat annoying when the laptop starts slowing down.  Is it
just perception?  Am I 
accustomed now to remote desktop into faster machines and working in
snappier systems?  Is it an 
accumulation of crap?  Do I need a reinstall?  Maybe a move from Vista to
Windows 7, with a clean 
install along the way?  An SSD?

All I know is that things don't load fast any more.  Even doing compiles on
VS 2008 is a "sit and 
wait" experience.

I think I really need a new quad core Intel (bad John, BAD John!) iXXX core
running Windows 7 X64 
and 16 gigs of ram, all on a 512 G SSD running the latest Sandforce (who
makes up these names?) 
controller.  It is Christmas after all!

Now to convince the wife!
