"I want to start a little logic out here, I mean everybody is different out here and they have different approaches and things like that you know. You know you only have Volkswagon money why jump in and buy a Cadillac and Porsche, why get hooked on something that is a high priced spread and then you have got to come down and live every day in a certain zone? So you can take that certain approach with putting the programs on your computer. You can start from what you are going to get used to and not wrack up a lot of data because you have data that goes on all these programs that you are using and you won't be able to use that data unless you keep that program. So my philosophy in this particular situation is if you take it off you can always go to the site as you want to. You can go to any site and you can get some information on the program and download it and put it back on but just getting a laptop or a computer to have all these things on there is quite confusing and it does, they call it sometimes bloatware but these programs try to do everything for you and that may not teach you exactly on how to think and be creative with the program and grow with the program. So we're going to go right now and look at some real recall or the ones we can lose."
