Yes, I can organize my files to the point where I rarely ever use |
| 12 |
find. Just because you can't, is not a reason to slow down everybody |
| 13 |
else's desktop. And if I really wanted a glitzy, bloated, |
| 14 |
slow-as-molasses, pointy-clicky-touchy-feely-oowee-GUI, I would've |
| 15 |
stayed with Windows, thank you. I started with Blckbox and am now on |
| 16 |
ICEWM. |

I have to put up with Windows at work and one of the first things I do |
| 19 |
with a new machine is to turn off indexing. It noticeably, speeds up |
| 20 |
the system. I'll take the rare occasional long search versus continuous |
| 21 |
disk-thrashing, thank you. |
