We were struck by nostalgia last night. I was going through some old programs and came upon one that EB and I used to refer to as “the toilet-flusher” program. If you download, install and run it, you’ll see why. Otherwise, you’ll just have to imagine whatever you will.<\/p>\n
I promised EB that I was going to stop yammering and start trying to be pithy. You don’t know how hard that is for me. I’m a yammerer – it’s in my\u00a0jeans\u00a0genes. I’ve been a prattler since I was in grade school; it’s really hard to teach an old dog new tricks. See?<\/p>\n
Anyway, as I was pondering weak and weary over many a program I’d forgotten long before,
\nThere can a bleating, a tinny beeping, a toilet-flushing sound I swore….<\/p>\n
Indeed, it was my old-standby, CleanUp! by Stephen Gould. Stephen has been around the Web as long as we have. As I dusted off CleanUp and used it for the first time in years (on Vista, by the way) I was impressed with how fast it was compared to other clean-up program I’ve tried. CCleaner has become bloated and slow – it takes it a long time to get rid of large amounts of waste and junk. But, the old CleanUp program? It’s as fast as ever. Lightning fast. When I clean up my computer at night, I just want to go to bed. I don’t want to wait for CCleaner to tell me there’s yet another update – or wait around for ten minutes while it cleans my computer – I just want to clean my computer and get some sleep. You know what I mean.<\/p>\n
Yes I’m yammering again. I’m sorry.<\/p>\n
We’re going to let Stephen Gould save the day for you and let you escape my incessant tendency to wordiness: Stephen, our old friend, take it away:<\/p>\n
“CleanUp! is a powerful and easy-to-use application that removes temporary files created while surfing the web, empties the Recycle Bin, deletes files from your temporary folders and more.<\/p>\n
CleanUp! frees disk space and reduces the “clutter” on your computer helping it to run more efficiently. It also can be used as a way to protect your privacy on the Internet. You can even instruct CleanUp! to securely delete files making it impossible to retrieve their contents using lower-level disk tools – just another way of protecting your privacy.<\/p>\n
No gimmicks here, CleanUp! is so easy to set up and use that you’ll have a lean, clean, mean machine in minutes….”<\/p>\n
While Stephen hasn’t updated this program in a long time we’ve tested it on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32\/64 bit) and it works just fine. It’s fast, it’s simple, it’s amusing – and it’s free.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking for a fun, easy-to-use program that does just what it says it does, then you’ll love CleanUp! The first time you run it, you’ll get a laugh too.\u00a0Learn more about CleanUp! and\/or download it from this page<\/a>.
