Space woes

It is that time of the year again - time to re-partition my hard disk! I've been trying to postphone the exercise for sometime now, but, lack of living space has kinda forced me into the big decision! To imagine that when we bought our first PC, 1 gig HDD was Huuuuge. Now, 80gigs is too small and my 40gig HDD is like damn tiny...and I thought things were getting smaller in size!!!

I have been pondering and pondering and still have time to ponder over the OS - good ol' XP or Vista? The XP CD that I have has my display driver missing. So, after the first reboot, I dont get display. I need to connect the laptop to an external display and force feed the driver. Vista, on the other hand, has the driver and it installs quite nicely taking about 90mins.

30gigs should be enough space for the OS and the rest of the gang - Flash, Flex, VS.NET 2K5 etc. I am also thinking of a upgrade of my HDD and RAM. The whole deal is rather funny. On the one hand, we are trying to make software more "portable" for all these devices we carry and on the other, for the PC, the applications are becoming bulkier in all its sense.

Anyhow, see you folks after the format!
