The Operation System needs space for temporary and page files on the hard drive to run smoothly.<br />Removing photos and videos to the memory stick has freed up space on the hard drive, making it run smoother. Try freeing up more space, and defragmenting the hard drive. My guess is, it would help a lot.KoBoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285415909669136256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-68155906440433641892011-05-27T18:48:13.276-07:002011-05-27T18:48:13.276-07:00Close, Dave, but the total on the side bar doesn&#...Close, Dave, but the total on the side bar doesn't include May's mortgage payment so I actually only owe $3,400. Of the $800 payment only $630 goes towards the mortgage and the rest towards escrow, that's why I don't like the automatic payment but I can't do anything about it yet since I am short on both money and month.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-67645286316442623292011-05-27T06:51:09.165-07:002011-05-27T06:51:09.165-07:00Okay, Daizy, let me see if I have the math right o...Okay, Daizy, let me see if I have the math right on your rapidly dwindling (yay) mortgage.<br /><br />If you pay $2,000 extra towards the mortgage and the $800 comes out on 6/1/2001 (most of the $800 will be principal, of course), that will bring your outstanding principal balance down to about $1,200, right? So if you pay another ~$500 some time in June, then the last automatic payment of $800 will finish the loan and you can sever the automatic payment in July while you await the paperwork and small refund (i.e. overpayment) on your last payment. Is that how it will play out?<br /><br />Those memory sticks are very handy, whether it is for storage or for simply backing up your files which is what I use them for. I got my two for free as part of promotions from a local computer store. :)<br /><br />And to answer your question in the previous entry about the garbage tax refund, I did not get a direct refund but instead it made my co-op's budget better. We have had no maintenance increases for the last 2 years, the first time that has happened since the 1990s when we went 7 years without an increase.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503978839912338538noreply@blogger.com
