Then my computer started feeling a little &#8220;blech&#8221; too, so I am now working on getting a new one up and running before I have to go back to work.  Switching to a brand new computer is kind of like cleaning out the fridge really well.  There are no crusty surprises stuck off in the corner anymore, but nothing seems to be where it goes and you can&#8217;t really remember if you even put it all back there or not.
