Not sure what you mean by updates. If they're Windows updates, don't touch them. Usually program updates overwrite previous information so they don't take up any space.

And programs usually don't take up much space. What takes up space are things like MP3s, AVIs, etc. You should probably delete some of those or archive them to an external hard drive.

GO to filehippo.com and download a program called CCLEANER. IUt used to be called Crap Cleaner. Run it.It is profiled to do a "deep clean" on all sorts of files on your PC while not damaging anything important.

Install it and let it run.

Will check out the filehippo site. Crap Cleaner made more since for a name of this type of site, don't you think. LOL Thanks for the informtion, ElBandito.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
