just so you know

i'm having some memory issues (yeah, with my mind AND my laptop). i thought i could fix it by getting an external hard drive. it DID help with the pictures (my new camera has a higher megapixel count than my old one. i had NO idea the pictures reflected this by taking up more space). my body AND my laptop are running very slowly these days. i then purchased a registry cleaner since it seemed this sort of thing was more than likely to help speed up the laptop (my body is my problem i guess). the registry cleaner did help but not enough. so if you see funny postings, or no titles or odd bits here and there, that's the reason why

so now i have a choice
1) buy more memory
2) buy a new laptop
