It’s amazing how something that can be relatively unimportant can suddenly be elevated to my “must have” list. Is that greed or what?

I recently upgraded my home PC. The former CPU served me longer than any computer to date, almost 7½ years! Talk about slow! It was painfully slow at the end. But the old thing was like a Volkswagen Bug, indestructible. I digress.

Now that I have a computer that is acceptably fast, I have the processing power to work with video editing. For years I have wanted to do several projects with home movies, but it was hampered by my patience on the slow machine – not to mention no way to burn the DVD. Finally I arrive at my topic. Since I have been working on these home movies I have noticed a few slowdowns and awkward software.

Today I was very tempted to double my RAM and purchase the upgrade for the DVD editing software I am using. I was so very close to making the purchase. But I don’t really need it. Sure it would be nice, but I don’t really have the discretionary funds right now. ‘Round and ’round I went. Reminding myself that what I had worked quite well; reminding myself that what I had could be better.

When it all comes down to it sure sounds like greed to me.
