@Hannah – Yes, you select the languages you want to keep by unchecking them. Cool.

@Talia and Jason – Yep, funny – I’m a pretty well-traveled guy, but have never spent any time in the UK, outside of a layover at Heathrow once. So I’m pretty clueless about UK culture beyond what I’ve read. (Hey Talia, you going to Ustream your wedding? If so, let me know. Doing it for my own was a wonderful experience.)

@Wes – Now that you mention it, it _is_ funny that software developers don’t include the option upon install!

Serious about the quid?? I am agreeing with Jason. I’m thinking that is a quid as in a pound from the UK.

And thanks so much for this. Can’t wait to use it!!

Quid = Pounds. It’s less formal, like Americans would say “bucks” for Dollars.

The tools looks interesting; I’ll check it out.

Excellent Clay, thanks for the recommendation and link– I think I read Miguel write about this awhile back but I’ve never tried it, and definitely should. I have made a switch from a 120 GB to 250 GB hard drive, but it’s always good to not waste good hard drive sectors, right?

I wish software installers would easily let people opt out of these unnecessary extra language installations from the start!
