What's on Your Hard Drive

ABSTRACT

In these days of cheap storage, it’s easy to let one’s hard drive fill up with countless bytes of unused garbage. Combine this storage surplus with gigabytes of RAM, and we have a breeding ground for that most conspicuous of “wares”: bloatware. We’ve all seen it, and many of us use it every day. We may have even become comfortable with these overweight tools and now barely recognize them as such. Indeed, they can simultaneously be our greatest enemies and our most familiar friends. Fortunately, there is a place to discuss such matters: www.acmqueue.com. Stop by to vent your frustrations, and sing your praises, about the tools you use. We’re listening.
