I don't think I've actually spent any money on an OS since Windows 95 which came with my first computer. Maybe Windows 98 was a little more genuine and came with someone else's computer and I "borrowed" it.<br /><br /> I suspect it is installation of software over the years slowing it down somehow, but I doubt much more is actually running in the background that it was then. Maybe more than I think. Maybe also I should buy some more RAM. 4GB enough these days?<br /></div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=40913.3&return_msg=40913.3" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="40913.3"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a40913_4"></a><div class="message" id="message_40913_4"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: johngti_mk-ii<span class="message_time">31 Jan 2014 19:49</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Chris (CHRISSS) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 31 Jan 2014 19:59"></span></span> <span class="message_count">4 of 49</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40913.4">40913.4</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=40913.3#a40913_3" target="_self">40913.3</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I've got it on my new laptop and it's...ok I guess.
