[QUOTE="hempomatic, post: 1624680, member: 335450"] This is what I'm talking about. I don't know why I would EVER want to DO that. I've never needed to before, why would I need to NOW all of a sudden. It's sort of like the commercials on TV to cure diseases you never knew you even had, creating a market where none previously existed. Sure, I can take a drug that MAY cause cancer, liver failure, heart disease and pick eye because I have JUMPY LEGS? Let's go to spreadsheets again, I can honestly say, there is no chance on God's green earth that I would EVER need to sort columns of numbers. It just seems to me that the whole thing would be WAY less cluttered AND there would be fewer things to go wrong IF they would allow you to OPT-IN to a program you THINK you may need one day and let you download it. That would serve two purposes really, save space on your drive (not the small programs but rather all the crap you would accumulate BECAUSE of them) and just keep it simple. Can I actually be the only one here that feels this way? Just give me the **** OPERATING SYSTEM and let ME decide what I need. I see so many people here saying that THEIR minimum requirement for these operating systems is 8 or even 16 gig. It will run with less, but NEVER well. That's fascinating to me. I have a 4 gig machine that runs great. Of course, I RARELY multitask because I never do more than 1 thing at a time. I can easily wait the 2 or 3 SECONDS it would take to open another program, maybe that's the key. MAYBE my machine runs so well because it isn't weighted down with dozens of other EXTRA programs. Imagine how much BETTER it would run with even FEWER programs. I know, I'm beating a dead horse here. I'm convinced that trying to delete these programs is both futile and dangerous, so I'll live with them just fine, but ........... I'll NEVER use them. ken [/QUOTE]
