This was not an unexpected death. I knew the end was near so nothing is lost. My life in digital form is safe and sound. Or for the sake of not angering the mojo that is comeuppance, it all appears to be safe and sound.
There are actually many benefits of having a nee hard drive. It is like a brand new computer, all shiny and new. Perhaps with a little shmutz under the keyboard but ready for action.
Yet it appears my sanity might soon be lost. For while I like having it uncluttered, boy I didn’t realize how many things I had added to this thing. I am okay with reinstalling everything. I even get a little thrill of power as I bestow my authority in allowing that java plug in to be installed or to reinstall that program. The power is mine!
Or is it?
For while it seems like I have to be Goldilocks and fiddle with everything to get it just right, there seems to be a ton of stuff already installed that I
a)don’t want
b)have no clue what it is
c)will not let me totally remove
Case and point Movielink. I have no desire to have movelink. Yet movielink is a mockingly happy icon on my computer screen. When movie link goes bye bye to the trash, I get a message saying this will only delete the shortcut. So then I journey over to my add and remove and low and behold no movielink icon. How the devil is a computer dummy supposed to remove it. Google doesn’t really help though there is a program I can install to get rid of all this.
Oy. Crapware will not win this war though it may have won this battle!
