[AccessD] The old laptop is slowing down

I moved from Vista to W7 and got a nice bump in  response time. Vista is
such a pig.  I assume you went through your processes and killed all the
unnecessary ones.  Crap does accumulate.  4GB Ram?

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!
