Yeah, as you log in up, a dozen different applications auto-start and
try to check for updates, making anything but high spec PCs grind to
their knees.  Then the rest of the apps that didn't do that, then, do it
when you start them up.

Gawd, but I hated having to use those computers, or fix up other
people's computers doing that.  It was such a pain trying to *start* to
do something, as that update palaver got in the way.  It's a sanity
testing time and money waster.

All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying
to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
