You know, I’ve got to confess, I’ve an opinion to air.
There really is a lot of ol’ rhubarb on TV, at the moment!
No, there is, though!
Which why I — in all probability — am annoying the bejeebers out of my neighbours, with a healthily loud amount of prime Frankie Goes to Hollywood, at the moment!
And — in my humble opinion* — Holly and the boys were the Sex Pistols of the 1980s.
Well, come on!
Five guys on stage, sticking two fingers up at the universe, and DARING everyone to make something of it?
How more punky do we want?
Adrian?
Adrian?
But, bless ’em, the Frankies weren’t what I intended to tell you about.
Or Café World, either, although that’s giving me some entertainment, in the absence of both Allison and anything watchable on TV.
No, what I was gonna do — for all of my Mac user readers out there — was mention a little application called AppDelete.
I’ve had a copy of AppDelete for some time, now: in fact the version I’ve got — AppDelete 1.1 — dates back from the days of my Trusty G4, running Mac OS X 10.4.x. And still runs perfectly well on the Mini, under Snow Leopardº.
OK, now I know you’re probably asking your self, “What the heck is AppDelete?”
Like it’s not obvious … ?
Sorry, that sounded terribly patronising, didn’t it?
I’ll apologise, now, for that.
And gently move on.
AppDelete — or the version I have — does what it says on the tin.
It deletes applications.
Not only that, but it also tracks down all of the extraneous stuff that comes with them.
You know, the various preference lists, preference panes, context menu items, what have you, that come with them.
The alternative is simply to delete an application. And track down the rest of the bits and, manually.
NOT an easy job, I can tell you!
Something like AppDelete makes a tedious job a lot easier!!
* Is it me, or is ‘In My Humble Opinion’ one of the most ridiculous phrases in the English language? It is, isn’t it? I mean, who on God’s Green Earth, has a HUMBLE opinion? I mean, really? It’s never gonna happen, is it?
º Actually, Snow Leopard’s given the version I’m using a whole new lease of life. It’s slow — which it’ll have to be, considering the Mini’s using a lot less RAM than it could — but it still works a lot better than it did under Leopard. And has enabled me to get rid of a lot of unused applications.

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
