bla-bla-bla Explanation: The first thing I'd think of, is "blammer" being "bla-bla-bla", which normally means too much talk. In this case I'd interprete it as too much junk or too many unnecessary features that slow down the system. Which would be a very probable interpretation as most experienced PC-users see it that way.. |
