Not about life, though, sadly. It's actually kinda nerdy. ugh, I'm such a nerd.

Anyway, so I installed Leopard on my dad's iMac without wiping the computer because I figured his comp is pretty empty (in terms of what's in his HD). But then after I installed Leopard, the computer slowed down ... by a lot. I mean, it used to be kind of slow, but with Leopard installed, it was ridiculously laggy and slow (like it'll give me the spinning wheel of death when all I'm doing is streaming Las Vegas. WTF?). So I figured maybe if I re-installed Leopard and wiped the HD, it'd run faster. Don't ask me why I thought that. I just did.

So I backed up the data (yay!), wiped the HD and installed Leopard, re-downloaded all the necessary software, and re-installed Office, Photoshop, etc.

After all that hard (but fun!) work, the computer's still slow. And laggy. I mean, it's faster than when I just installed Leopard w/o wiping (although haven't watched Las Vegas yet so don't know if it'll still give me the spinning wheel of death), but it's still slooooooow, especially when I try to run Photoshop.

And then it suddenly hit me .........

There's only 512mb RAM in my dad's iMac!!! Omg!!! =.=

I knew I should've upgraded the RAM when I bought the comp for him, but I didn't think it'd be necessary. Sigh, I need to upgrade the iMac's RAM if I end up in Washington for winter break. This slowness is RIDICULOUS (I'm used to having 2GB RAM).

The end. :)
