If you calculate that space requirement in terms of
cost at current disk prices it probably wouldn't
sound that bad.
Oh, it's just the trouble of doing the install, then
doing the uninstall, and the trouble of trying to make
sure it was all gone. If I actually wanted to *use* it,
it wouldn't be bad. But I don't want to drag a whole
UNIX environment into my Windows environment, any more
than I want to drag a whole Windows environment into
my Linux environment.
And right now *any* actual cost sounds bad to a
laid-off engineer.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
