[nvda] Re: Idea for next release of nvda

well on that subject with this new toshiba I find myself removing a load of the 
visual utilities, the 2 main utilities that seem to give the biggest issue is 
free config and the power management, both are supposed to previde advanced 
functionality to features.
They do but make parts of the system like screenreaders a frustrating mess.
and they die.
To some extent does things like the finger print security, and the pc diag 
although I leave these in only because they don't cause me any issue.
I also deleted the rec cd imager the cd creater and the security and assist 
packages so if I push the wrong power button they will not function.
I also had to delete the cd drive so I could get one that would record in 
windows.
I have the programs if I need them back.
Sure I have a now crappy system and some of the interfaces are not using all 
the features, prity much 0 of the features but its workable.
Crappy but workable and thats what matters.
