Why go through the work? For fun! Figuring out how to mod your own computer is one of life's greates pleasures... for some people anyway :D. Sure a program that does it all for you is nice, that IS true. It's better. But, sometimes you want to see if you can do it on your own, ya know?
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
