oh, dear lord above!

My computer just notified me that I have a whopping 152MB left of disk space in C drive. After deleting all the unnecessary programs I could think of, I increased that number to 345. 

To sum up, I think my computer is about to bite the dust, and hard, unless I do something radical like cut down on the size of my fanart collection. Hold me?

*cuddles*
*pets* It will be ok... really.

But you do need to upgrade. Or at least save the files you access less often to disk.

Yeah, I think much of my random stuff, and much of my music collection is going to have to go on CD or on an external hard drive, should I be able to buy one on the cheap.

A lot of my pictures and assorted files are already on CDs, but there are several things (like my photos from abroad) that need to be backed up ASAP.

*takes deep breath*

As with the previous commenter -- it's time to start saving some things to CD/DVD. :) I'm constantly running out of hard drive space on my laptop thanks to the filesharing/downloading I do. Every so often, I just have to move a pile of files off to new pastures in the CD/DVD collection.

*laughs* And how big is that fanart collection, anyhow? It would take a LOT of art to eat a hard drive, since most art is optimized for web-viewing. ;)

Ha, well, it's mostly the ridiculous music/television collection that's eaten the hard drive of this computer.

But the fanart is probably going to be most easily purged of the lot...

*stifles a snicker* It sounds like you need a flash drive!

I've found that cuddling and talking nice to my laptop sometimes helps.

[wildcard-47.livejournal.com]

Well, I have a flash drive...but it's temporarily on holiday. I don't know when it's coming back. :)

I think the cuddling suggestion might work nicely after I delete some more stuff.

Print them off... collect them somewhere online with bookmarks or whatnot... or, pare down the collection?

[elvenlaughter.livejournal.com]

Actually, just get an external hard drive. They're only about $50, I believe, and you can store loads and loads of stuff on them.

AHHHHHHH!

Well, I did try giving it my PIN number and the amount of money I needed to withdraw, but that didn't help matters much. :D
