Bye Bye Sims

mimi_sardiniaI am having to uninstall the Sims 2 because I just found that my A drive was practically full. That may be the reason I had so many "Low Virtual Memory" warnings, but even so, those were before I installed S3.
I've saved the last save folder over onto Vector Prime - the terabyte drive - but this does bring into question whether next time I have money, I should go in and get a total overhaul and get a new A drive installed. Of course doing that likely means I have to reinstall absolutely everything on the computer, so it's a bit of an intimidating matter, but still, it will do huge favours for the system over all.
At least with the Sims, I am well distracted by S3, so I won't be too bugged by not having S2.
Edit: Unistalling that (and everything else I could find to pull off) has freed up 19 MB - that's almost half of the drive freed up. Yes, I know, a 40 MB drive is small but one has to remember that Airë is the only piece of the original computer we bought in 2001 left in the current system. Back in 2001 40 MB was reasonably good - I think top of the line was only 80 MB then.
Hopefully clearing all that will help the system work better.
