I have a bad feeling that my Dell laptop will conk out on me soon. I have uninstalled many applications I rarely use and ran the disk defragmenter tool but the performance is still slow. What usually takes less than a minute to boot up has now become at least 2 minutes or more! I tried to free-up the memory by copying image files to a CD but that didn’t help either.

I’m not ready to let go just yet. My old ibook will be my fall back but I’m still very much dependent on this PC. Well, I just have to remember to make frequent back-ups of my PC files, just in case.
