I have just spent about 35 hours over the last several days doing a severe clean-up of my computer - not just deleting temporary files but thoroughly* uninstalling about 300 programs after running each to remind myself what they did, thorough* uninstallation of about 200 games, and deletion of several hundred more than weren't installed (just copied files). (* thorough means using Revo to clean up absolutely everything - if you are a nerd you'll understand what that means). 50GB of disk space recovered. Registry so much smaller. And it feels so cathartic.

You might not be nerdy enough to understand any of that above paragraph but what do you CBers do that you think others might consider nerdy or geeky?

I hate having programmes on my laptop that I dont know what they are for. I thought I'd got rid of a programme and I felt really good. But it has reappeared as a search engine, and I can't find out where it is in my programmes. It is quietly driving me nuts I can't get rid of it, It's like a personal vendetta. Geeky?

No Woody23 because it would take a month of Sundays to install or download all of the many other programs I have left alone. And since I regularly defrag the hard disk, as well as using various system cleaners that I trust, starting afresh is not necessary.

Me and B00 are considered nerdy because we both spend a great deal of our free time playing MMORPGs. B00 is a WoW nut and I play FFXI online. I suppose B00's game is more mainstream than mine so i'm probably the bigger geek :)

Nope .. resourceful.
About 1 hour to build and 1 hour to load XP Pro.
Then months toget all programmes as you need them .. and layouts right!

AlBags, I am really looking forward to building a PC to my very own specifications instead of having to buy what retailers offer at inflated prices. I know i'm probably going to struggle more with the software than the hardware, but i'm determined to do it :)
Retail gaming PCs are very expensive!
