"Fried" or "Read, Don't Write"

I haven't been able to write anything here for a while.

My brain is toast.

I have been doing more reading. I just finished a great book. "Gravity" by Tess Gerritsen. I just re-started "Fear Nothing" by Dean Koontz.

Ummmm...

I've been working on my laptop for the past few days. It's been taking longer and longer to boot. I unloaded Symantec's Norton System Works and replaced the anti-virus part with McAfee. Seems to be loading much faster now. I also did about 20 MB of Windows 2000 updates.

Yup, smoother.
