The horror. The horror.

I've always been afraid to post such horrors, but since the door has been opened.....
This is the so called 'Sidebar' that Compaq has come up with and preinstalled on my pc..
Compact version...
and full version...
Maybe if it could be skinned by my wb...but the 'walmart' logo would have to go.

Well no really....I dont install all kinds of weird crap....That is the reason I have never had an virus or spam or adware problem....Other than Windows being scarey.......I have no clue what that 3rd Icon is for...although that pre bundled Compaq Walmart job would tick me off if I had a compy pre installed with that crap....

You all gotta remeber...I dont do none of tyhat toolbar, online chat room IRC stuff...I use a computer for work and bill paying..(sometimes porn)...But other than that I dont install every little cool thing...I was a OD user for over a year before I even messed with anything other than the Icon Packager and WindowBlinds....I tend to not trust companys that say they can improve my computer experience....

A friend of mine called me over because her new computer was acting "funny".
I saw the navigator and shuddered. Told her that I would be happy to remove it so she could use her OS.
I was supposed to work on her PC and then eat dinner. Needless to say, I didn't eat. I finally gave up and told her I couldn't help her if she wanted to keep the PB propietary stuff.
That type of this was pretty standard between Win3.1 and Win95. The company got some branding, maybe a profit center for tech support. MAYBE a little ease of use for boomers who didn't know how to use their new toys.
