Imagine being able to tweak your ‘puter for max performance easily. It would be pathetically simple – just include a DVD of option packages along with the restore disks. And no, don’t you dare tell me that restore disks are no longer needed. I’ve dealt with too many dead HD’s & corrupt recovery partitions to agree.
