I heard somebody say that computers are alot like cars. You buy them, they
are set with the factory defaults and things. But with not very much work, you
can work on it and 'fine-tune' the computer to up the speed, improve the
performance etcetera. I was just wondering, after reading the articles in this
thread, how true this statement is and how far one can go with it.
