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?
I am nerdy enough to appreciate it, I created a notepad file of suspect relatives that I felt may be useful in future searches during my browsing of 6 decades of the births/marriages and deaths register.
I normally do a file and settings transfer to my external HD, then I reinstall from scratch so its a virgin computer and run the file and settings wizard, quicker.. ;)

Why does the term nerd only apply to technical things - computers, phones. Don't people who are very into something like baking cakes deserve the same abuse?
