Why is it that EVERY piece of hardware you buy comes with some crappy CD full of s****y programs they want you to install?
In the past few months i have purchased 3 items that came with their own software that they INSIST that you install before connecting the device. These devices include:
1) A wireless mouse and keyboard.
2) A photo printer
3) a Hard drive.
Why would i need software for a hard drive?
What else do you need printer software for if you have photoshop? =P I don't want .wav files that alert me about the status of my print job.

Software for a keyboard?!?!
What the f*****g f**k.
Software for keyboard = any multifunction keys you have along the top probably won't work without the software. USELESS!
HDD software = diagnostic tools usually that allow you to check on the condition of the hard drive better than chkdsk does. Can be good or bad... depends.
