sabYou know the joke, the one that gets all sorts of mileage on sitcoms and radio morning shows and whatever's replaced water-cooler conversations, the joke about how the Internet was built for porn? He says, "I swear, if you deleted all the porn from the internet there'd only be ONE website left. And it would be the BRING BACK PORN! website."
That joke? I realized -- WE are the porn on the internet! That porn they're all talking about? That's US.
I've never been so proud. *g*

Now, a question for the tech-savvy. Who can talk me through deleting Windows components?
I've got a 20 gig harddrive that shows up as a 16.7 gig harddrive, likely because of a hidden partition that I'm choosing not to worry about. So really, I have a 16.7 gig harddrive. My files, audio and video and images, all told probably total about five gig. My applications, Mozilla and OpenOffice and Photoshop and so on, probably total two gig at the outside. That's seven gig.
My harddrive is FULL. Am I to believe that Windows XP is taking up the whole TEN REMAINING GIG on my harddrive? And if so, BOY does that ever suck. (Also it begs the question of where those missing four gig [the ones that knocked my 20 gig HD down to 16.7] are, if they're not supporting the system software, but perhaps I shouldn't worry about that.)
So tell me, how do I get into Windows and delete all Bill's stuff I don't use? Like Outlook and MSN and IE? And whatever the hell else is taking up more than half my useable computer space?
Add/Remove Programs lets me browse my applications, as listed above. I don't want to delete my applications, and as I said, they only total about two gig. I want to figure out what ELSE is here that's taking up my whole goddamned ThinkPad. Please help!
