Odd.

My computer has been acting up for weeks; windows explorer has been terribly slow; taking a minute and a half typically to open a folder on the desktop with two rtfs in it. I tried killing half the processes that were running in task manager, to no avail. Then I downloaded AVG for a virus scan, and that fixed it. It didn't find anything; it ran a scan and said no dangerous programs detected, and didn't clean anything out. But as soon as it was finished updating, the windows explorer thing went away.

O.o

I've long had this neurotic attachment to microsoft word, because I've been using it since I was fourteen, and it's familiar, and i know how to do anything I could possibly want to do on it, and Lindsay doesn't like change. I reiterate Lindsay *doesn't* like change. I'll do weird things sometimes that I can't really explain other than when I realize I did it because there's one part of it that I've always doen that way, and my mind drags me to the familiar.

I can change. However, change must be calculated, and planned, so that I can prepare myself psychologically for change.

I've been introduced to google documents, and I'm realizing that my biggest concern about ever getting a new computer or changing my operating system - where am I going to get a copy of microsoft word - may just dissappear. There's also apparently a free thing that's almost identical to microsoft word. And apparently there are nice pretty, user friendly versions of linux I can download, and I could actually wash my computer free of that broken money hungry thing that is microsoft. I could walk the path of the penguin, and survive...

I shall do so. The preparation begins.
