I find it interesting (and often scary) to look at other peoples computers. You always find the oddest things installed and configured. One of my coworkers recently had to fix his friend’s computer. He found some interesting stuff while digging around looking for problems.
I booted up her computer to see what she had installed. To my surprise, she still had the original Napster. As I looked a little closer I found Morphius, BearShare, Audio Galaxy and almost every other file sharing program that I knew existed. It was like taking a trip through the history.
He ended up reinstalling Windows to fix everything which probably would have been my first step. All this makes me wonder, what does your computer say about you?
