Now that I have relocated Heather’s computer and the network is operating smoothly, I have a deadline to meet, more or less, with regard to my computer. Today, I received the 2005 edition of my operating system with all its annoyingly bloated new features. Microsoft calls it innovation. I call it “software obesity.” As always, there are numerous added services that I will never use. I ultimately disable much of what Microsoft considers essential, but which my computer does not.
Friday morning is my online orientation as a new student of WIU. I will have to use online software as a big part of the virtual classroom, and I need to have my PC “rehabilitated” first. Before Friday, I need to restore my computer, completely wiping the hard drive for a clean start with that new OS software. I have lots to do before Friday, and still haven’t finished my autobiography for Monday’s class. I will get it together before then, though, no worries about that. At least I’m not bored to tears, with nothing to do!
