Your snide comment about Asperger syndrome is insulting, irrelevant and
inappropriate, as well as showing that you don't actually know what it's
symptoms are.
As for your comment concerning backups, there is no relationship
whatsoever between someone trying to gain disk space and your claim that
such a person doesn't do backups.
As for spending $20 to buy a new large hard drive.... seriously? Where
do you see new large hard drives for $20?! It is perfectly valid for a
user on limited income (retired, elderly, or a low-income family with
children, and ,many others) to not be able to afford replacing a good
hard drive with a larger one for the sole purpose of gaining disk space,
when they need their money for other things. Apparently you do not work
with a large number of home users or are unaware of the priorities some
people must set in regards to how they spend and on what. Perhaps it is
you who live in the remote part of Hindu Kush.... another of your snide
and unnecessary remarks, by the way.
