not much to it.

So I've been thinking about the idea of using a minimalist approach for my laptop. I have enough Hard drive space and power, I just don't use my laptop for much else than web stuff and I find the idea of trying out a more web or browser based computer experience. I tried a few months ago to "googlize" my PC, which is to see how far I can go with Google products in terms of using as many Google programs as possible. The 1st thing that drove m crazy was the browser itself. I could not use Google Chrome. maybe they've gotten better by now but I can tell that it'll be awhile before they're ready to truly compete with Firefox. I switched to Firefox and learned to use some programs like Picasa, Google docs and the widgy tool thingy. Learning what's out there was part of the reason why I wanted to try it out. I'm still working on it but slowly I've tuned back to what I know and a lot less googles.

And so now I'm going toward the minimalist idea. Haven't decided to go for it but I just like the idea of having a machine that actually can load the OS system in a very short time. I've been thinking about using the recovery disks and starting from scratch. I guess we'll see.
