The DEevolution of the Computer Box

When bundled systems were all the rage, new boxes came with a gaggle of disks (system disks, hardware disks, monitor disks, all disks). Life was good because you could touch all that you need to keep your system up and running, for life. Then that became too much and then came the hidden partition with all that was needed stored there and all you had to do was boot into it and you could reinstall everything without CDs at all. Life was good but there was an inherent flaw in this methodology, hard disk failure. Now comes completely installed systems with just personal tweaking needed to make it your own and life is good, again. Except now there is a single use app that will make your own personal restore set of DVDs after tweaking so you can put everything back in your system when it all goes wrong.
