Enclosure to You

My father passed away earlier this year. This summer my mother dropped off a PC that he used as part of his business. She asked me to take to a look on it for anything important. I've been avoiding taking a look at it. I wasn't sure what kind of feelings looking at it would bring. Also, I've been dreading the holidays without him. But it is time to summon courage and deal with my emotions. Lately I've suffered with bouts of not sleeping well. But I'm going to be okay.

I bought an enclosure. This is a device to which you can connect an IDE hard drive. This one supports USB 2.0 so I can attach it to my computer by USB. I don't need to open my case to install the drive. Well, I took a look at the drive. So far I haven't found anything interesting. I did find evidence of a sneaky spyware program that had installed itself. Also, I saw that the drive was badly fragmented and could perform better after running a defragger on it. The Windows directory has about 1.1 Gb of data. That seems a little unusual for Windows NT. I'll take a closer later.
