My computer seems to take longer to do things, but I haven't really had any problems with it yet.
I'll go down this weekend and look at some USB harddrives for backup purposes and see what other offers are out there.
Since I don't know that much about computers I wasn't sure how much they have advanced in the last few years.
Thanks for the help guys.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
