New Users Introduce Yourself

Please forgive my ignorance.  It was not my intention to upset you.
It's good to know the tone of this board.  
I'll be more careful in the future with my picayune issues.

lol, can't believe at my age I had to look up "picayune".  Anyway, I don't think it's the policy or desire to chastise anyone for their views.

As to the previous comment, there is a difference between what is available and what is needed.  When I first started with computers, hard drive space and memory were expensive commodities and programmers took pains to keep programs small while still producing a product.  Even comments were deleted because they took up space.  I can't tell you how many times in today's environment that I've asked, on both Windows and Linux forums, "How do I get rid of unneeded or orphan files?" only to be told "Don't worry about it, you have plenty of space on your HD, just leave them." Or when I install an upgrade or new OS, go in and delete all the bloatware that comes with it.

Well, that's my rant for 2017
