Since the semester is over, and the customer traffic has died down for this week, I decided to do some spring cleaning on my Vista machine. Over the semester I had installed many applications that were one-use apps, or used them a few times when the same patron came back multiple times. Since the summer usually has different students coming in, and there is no guarantee that the Fall will bring the same students back, it’s time to speed up this old windows PC.

One of the applications that I uninstalled was Netscape Navigator. I used to use this browser since version 2.0 on my 68k Mac (and 96k modem!). Since Netscape killed it off last February, there was really no point to leaving it on my hard drive. If a patron calls and has a problem with the browser, the answer is simple: Upgrade.
