Reformat Complete

Over the weekend, I finally reformatted my main computer and upgraded from Windows 2000 to Windows XP, a task I’ve been putting off for ages. I hadn’t made any major upgrades to this computer in at least three years, so you can imagine I had quite a bit of junk on it from years of installing and un-installing software. I made tedious, redundant backups of everything before the big wipe, so I haven’t lost any data, but at the moment all I have is a blank computer running Windows XP.

It’s simultaneously exciting and depressing. It’s like moving. I’ve got the computer equivalent of a new, empty house with fresh paint on the walls and endless possibilities, but I’ve also got a lot of completely empty rooms packed with stacks and stacks of boxes to be opened and sorted. The process of unpacking the boxes (ie. restoring data and re-installing applications) is quite daunting.
