My Computer Is Alive!

I managed to fix my computer by turning it on again, however, I had the urge to restore the computer. I did restore my computer, and I decided to not install anymore programs on this machine, except for the basics. What I mean by that is having OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Thunderbird, WinZip, Paint .NET, iTunes, and ClamWin anti-virus. Pretty sad, huh? My computer runs faster than a cheetah, but only after I restored it, removed all of the "crapware" that comes with the PC, install ALL updates, critical or not, installing all of my open-source programs (nearly all of my programs are open-source, with the exceptions of iTunes, QuickTime, WinZip, Adobe Reader and of course, Windows. For those of you who need to know what software I run, I'll just give you a quick rundown of what I've got.

• ClamWin Antivirus
• Firefox
• Thunderbird
• iTunes
• QuickTime
• Adobe Reader
• PDFCreator
• OpenOffice.org
• Paint .NET

I personally think that it is a little pathetic that my computer can run so fast, but only if I have just a few programs.

I'm gonna backup my data more often...
