Slow this, slow that...I'm just about done

2007 will be dubbed “The Year Software Ate Your Hardware.”

As I’ve chimped about previously, I loaded Office 2007 — it slowed my computer down.  I installed Windows Vista — my computer slowed down even more.  Well, now Windows Mobile Device Center (the new connection software for Windows Mobile devices on Windows Vista) — has slowed my computer down even further.

When I plug in my Windows Mobile smartphone, the hard drive on my computer hits for a while, applications become unresponsive, and I get to sit and wait until WMDC makes it’s connection.  I feel like I’m in rush hour traffic.  Stop.  Start.  Stop.  Start.  Run application.  Wait for application.  Type a few sentences.  Drink a sip of coffee.  Drink another sip of coffee.

Granted, my computer is about 3 years old, and I’m *hoping* that has something to do with it.  So, today’s the day.  I’m off to purchase a new computer for myself.  In a recent post I asked for your help in deciding which computer to buy.  Thanks to all of those that responded!

I’ll post soon about which one I actually get, along with pictures.
