The advantage of multiple networked computers

The thing about Windows machines is that sooner or later you must got through what I think of as slash-n-burn file management…you make sure all your good stuff is backed up and reformat/reinstall. Decades of cruft and barnacles (miraculously accrued in mere months) sloughed off, you have a semblance of responsiveness once again.

The bad part, of course, is you feel like you're working with one hand until all your stuff is configured again.

It's time for the desktop machine to undergo the purge. And since I have the laptop all configured I can actually take my time and eliminate all the old Delphi 3 archives.
