If you're arguing that a computer can't be optimized for all those tasks, then I'll agree with that. But no one is talking about that.
Wrong! I am talking about that. I believe it is a progressive problem in that the more you add the larger the problem becomes. Considering that the largest problem is the first argument I made concerning Libraries folders and that everyone for the most part engages in photo storage music libraries and now video making (youtube) and the problem gets out of hand very quickly.
CAD programs load license processes. Adobe products do the same thing as does Corel and so on. Its not just bits on the HD once you start adding additional functionality to your system.
Krusty you are at least aware of some of the things that must be done in preparation for playing AH. The point of my post was to help people that do not have that insight realize that it can get out of hand quickly. Like I said you can argue (and continue to do so) to the contrary but it is a fact.
