"Personal" Computer

Tweet

I "inherited" a PC from one of my granddaughters a few years ago. Recently I got another one from one of my grandsons. At issue here is the fact that we might not be aware of just how personal our computers are. In both cases the computers came with all of their footprints still installed on them. I then had the enviable task of going through all of their files to decide what I should keep that was necessary to the proper operation of the computer. Now, my tastes in music is decidely worlds away from those of most young people of their generation I'll admit, but can you imagine having to go through hundreds of music files(some with explicit lyrics), while trying to make sure that you don't delete the wrong things? I may never understand why those young people listen to what they listen to, but just the titles of some of the songs was enough to make me blush.It has been a lengthy process, but I think I've finally gotten rid of all the junk - and freed up quite a bit of space on my hard drive. If this wasn't such a nice computer I probably would not have gone through the ordeal. So, have you ever inherited a computer that came with loads of stuff you just didn't want to keep?
