My fiancee's son went off to college this past September
with a new computer.  Within a few weeks, he could hardly
use the thing.  It would take 5 minutes for Word to load a
small document.

He brought it home at break and asked me to figure out
what was wrong.  It took me a 1/2 day to find out that he
was using Kazaa and a bunch of other "free" music
download utilities.  They were doing so much stuff in
the background that it was killing his machine.  I deleted
all that stuff (it took a while to clean up the software and
registry) and his PC worked normally again.  We both
learned a lesson about "free" software.
