Ah, disks are cheap and getting bigger all the time. I hear Hitachi is working on a 1TB drive due out in 2007 or so. I can't wait to put 4 of those in a box

I can't even get to start
I restarted my computer and i hit the right click on my mouse jus to see if i hid my desktop icons but nothing happened
Can i download Norton or Symantic or do i have to go buy them?

Nope. Filling a hard drive should not be bad for it.

Yup, though you should defragment the drive once in a while.

The defrag might not work if there isn't enough swap space...

If you absolutely can't wait (and don't mind burning holes in your wallet), check out Dynamism. They import electronics from Japan and give you domestic support.

Ooh, good point. So it some ways, filling a hard drive is not healthy.

Oh, and the pagefile, too.

Okay, have the new PC case, power supply, and case fans.

Holding off on ordering a video card, as the next generation video cards are due to be announced at Comuptex at the end of May.

Probably will order a 74 GB Raptor HDD, as I want fast boot times. Maybe one of those new 6x DL DVD burners from Pioneer.

74GB?? Huh??

You want fast boot up, stick with DOS.

Heck, if PC makers wanted, they could stick a flash card onto the motherboard with DOS. Like what Cisco does with routers.

Yeah, a lot of embedded PCs have boot ROMs built onto the mobo...

Could you imagine if the onboard computer in cars took as long to boot up as Windows? Or if it took a minute to turn on a PDA?
