Part of the problem is the over-bloating of applications these days. 

My beige G3 PowerMac is used as a business and leisure computer and
only has 126GB of hard drive storage (over two drives) ... and still
has 62GB free space left.   :-)

I've got about 37Gb free space.  I twiddle with Linux and Win7 
occasionally so I have Parallels on the SSD, but the VMs are on an SD 
card.  Little slow loading but that's of no concern.

How many 4K preference files will it take to use up 1% of the SSD?

1.28 gigabytes) / (4 kilobits) = 335 545 files

I used to use a free app called Onyx to do various tidying up chores.  I 
don't think I've run it since Lion or possibly Snow Leopard (and on a 
prior machine).

When I remove an app I use "AppCleaner" (also free), it makes an extra 
effort to locate all files associated with an app and deletes them.  In 
one case it was effective to remove an app before re-installing it - 
just deleting it with Finder was ineffective - the re-installed app 
would not run.

A fellow who runs a PC repair shop had a very buggy, slow MacBook (early 
intel version).  He was getting nowhere with it.  I looked at it and the 
first thing I spotted was MacKeeper.  I suggested he remove that, 
install Onyx and AppCleaner and go to town on the machine.  Next time I 
was by he said that made a huge difference.

Maybe this is the group he reposted it to?

No, he reposted to CSMA primarily to start a trolling thread.  That's 
all he does.

Ah, good to know. I don't visit CSMA. I'll go ahead and add dick wad to
the kill file. Thanks.

This is the original group as far as I can tell. Look at the OP.

Look who the post came from. Puffin Killer is a nym for zara and has 
used a very large number of other nyms. His MO is to make some stupid 
statement, then resort to insults when challenged. He is a troll, pure 
and simple. Ignore him, or if you want to engage with him, do it in the 
proper group, CSMA.

Hmmmmm......all that huffing and puffing.  Does Kono huff and puff? 
Do you hold his balls while he's pushing and shoving?

No thanks. Feel free to knock yourself out if you want, though.

Minor nit: There is no such thing as a proper group to engage with trolls.
