Maintaining Your Computer

It's important to maintain a computer, if you want it to function well. While most computer users know this, many don't spend much time taking care of their computers. It usually isn't for lack of time, but lack of know-how and a lack of where to find reliable information. Sure, the tech people will charge you money to "fix" or "update" or "check things out" when something isn't working, but you'll need to pay them to do so.

Think of computer maintenance like house maintenance. You clean your house (at least most of us do) on a regular basis. Your computer also needs cleaned on a regular basis. And, it isn't much harder than sweeping your floor or cleaning out the refrigerator. Really! I find people people often have questions about maintenance issues, but aren't sure where to get answers.
