How do you say tedious?......

The main hard drive on this computer is 80 gig. I run XP Pro. There are just under 300,000 files on the drive.
It was time to do a clean up. Deleted, compressed, defragmented. Picked up over 300 meg of space.

..... and, it only took five hours. ! ! !

[For those that know me, you'll be pleased to here that there's now a substantial dent in the ironing pile.]
I think it's time for bed.
