Webster’s Dictionary defines Crapware as the category of software programs that come previously installed on your brand new PC, programs which slow your memory, your speed, and are often incredibly difficult to exorcise from your hard drive. I’ve spent the last few years tweaking my ability to get rid of crapware and it’s ugly cousin spyware from my PC. And to a high degree, I’ve been fairly successful, and now I’m the proud owner of a blazing fast, Microsoft powered, Windows Vista machine, with nary a blue-screen-of-death to show for it. For anyone interested, I highly recommend the use of the free programs Ccleaner and Ad-aware as part of a regular maintenance schedule to keep your machine running at top speed.
Why am I posting about crapware? Well, simply because my random iTunes background song is, in fact, one of the media files that came attached within the sample media files for the Windows Media player to discover and play. The piece, a slow jazz groove entitled Despertar, which is the Spanish verb that means “to wake up”. The sad thing, is that the piece is not that bad. For not being much of a jazz music aficionado, it’s actually growing on me. I grew up listening to some ragtime, and small doses of “big-band”, but only recently have gotten into the likes of Miles Davis or John Coltrane. It’s only when I feel like I’m sitting in a dentist’s waiting room that I get a bit perturbed.
