Computer resources.
I've just come back from Costco, where I bought myself a new HP 1315.
During the installation process, the dialog box you see here appeared. Read it, go on, I'll wait. Yes, it does say that a minimal install that will possibly disable some features and isn't recommended will take up 100 Megabytes!
100 Megabytes! For minimal printer driver? Why? Can someone explain this to me? I bet I could write a full suite of printer software that took up no more than 5mb of disk space!
Coders today really piss me off....
I only have a total of 40gigs of disk space, now I have to waste 1/40 on the install, because obviously I want the full suite for my machine. :(
