My mom's work gave her a great new laptop to use, so I inherited the one she bought in 2005. It works great, except....well....it was in full-fledged MM (mom mode). The HP Pavilion was bought at Best Buy, so it came with a slew of HP ;software packages pre-installed, along with the obligatory software trials and samples. And all the stuff is programmed to start up with windows, so XP took 7 minutes to boot with the stellar 256 of RAM.
So after a few evenings of work (and a little time at work), this machine is approaching refinement. I uninstalled all the crappy stock software, massively reduced the programs that fire up when you start Windows, and bought a crapload of RAM. Now it's ready. Thanks, Ma!!
