That reminds me.  Recently, my desktop has become slow.  So I developed an EVIL PLAN.  By Christmas, my 3Ghz Athlon dual-core with 4GB of DDR2 and WinXP will be... something else.
Namely, a 3.2Ghz Phenom six-core, 8GB of DDR3 (with space for 8GB more), and an XP/7/Ubuntu triple-boot on a newer, larger drive.
(BTW, Best Buy has a pretty good hard drive deal right now- 1.5TB WD external for $80.  It's only 5400RPM, but for an archival drive, that's not a problem.
I bought two.  When I'm done, I'll have 4.89TiB of storage.)
My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Brother Atom Bomb of Courteous Debate. Get yours.

I've been writing a bit.
