Hi there...and thanks for the welcomes.
I'm not sure why most girls don't stick around, but I plan to stay.

Defragging. I think it could use quarantine. It's making all kinds of grinding noises when I tell it to do something and its only a year old (and I don't even abuse it). Oh well, it's a cheap Gateway piece-o-junk that the campus issued me. When I'm done, I'll buy an actually decent laptop. A Toshiba.

If it is grinding, be sure to back stuff up periodically just in case and run chkdsk.
The wide screen laptops are coming down in price so you might look at those especially if you watch videos.

RE: New member from Ohio
Thanks for the advice. I actually save everything to my flash drive. This laptop is the campus's and if it dies, it's their problem. Like I said, I take very good care of it. I have never used the CD burning capabilities or many of the other stuff.
I only use it for the Internet and I only use the internet to watch a few things off of sites such as newgrounds.com, to reseach cars and other stuff, and obviously to chat on these forums. I never look up dirty stuff that would infect it with viruses. So it is just a piece of junk. I never really download anything either. These are cheap computers, I should know. What you pay for is what you get, and this campus bought the cheapest PCs they could find.
My father's previous labtop was a 1999 Ultra and after 4 years it was shot and it started making grinding noises after two years. That Ultra was very cheap. He went through at least three batteries in this time. His 2003 Toshiba Satellite still runs like its new and is still on its original battery. It wasn't cheap and it runs very like its new and my brother has abused it. I used it on here during July and early August.

RE: New member from Ohio
Oh to answer your question on the progress of my Chally...It's gonna be a LONG winter. [
]
I have the outside almost done. The sheetmetal and painting are done. I need to scrape together another $500 for a gallon of paint and clearcoat to finish it off.
THEN I can start on the inside. Like I said...a very s-l-o-w work in progress, but definitely a labor of love.
