Graham’s Desktop
I was doing some routine maintenance on Graham’s computer this morning including freeing up some disk space since he had fallen below 1 Gb. His downloads go to his desktop so that was the first place I looked for extraneous and unused files. Here’s a picture of what I found:
Pictures 1-4 were all screenshots of completed games. This screenshot shows Picture 2 open. Other notable items are the Real Audio file (.ram) from a They Might Be Giants (his favorite band) stream and various downloads probably recommended by Thomas and me (darwinia, Redline, GoogleSketch, Pangea Arcade).
