Up to speed again



Category: Miscellaneous | Posted: Fri Jan 04, 2008 10:00 pm

Thank heaven for people who know more than I do about computers!
For the last half a year I've been struggling to stay online for longer than a few minutes at a time. But it's now apparently (touch wood) fixed, and my PC is working at a speed I've never before enjoyed. Thanks to a new router installed for me by a very efficient local engineer, and the binning of all the stuff I don't want, most of which he said was just fighting each other - spyware, adware, out of date applications, etc - I'm now well and truly up to speed. It's like having a brand new toy to play with.
And to think that yesterday I was on the verge of taking the whole sorry lot to the nearest office block , dropping it from the roof, and visiting the computer store for a new setup. Glad I didn't.

Sometimes all it takes is someone who knows more about computers than you do. Every once in a while my son comes by and goes over things on mine. He wonders why I keep so much. I guess mostly because I don't know it's there. He zips through things I would never dare to open. Sometimes he says check this or that and I would if I could find this or that. I do run spyware and anti-virus and I can run the defrag program. I guess I need to do those things as I haven't since Christmas time. Things sort of got in the way. Enjoy your new faster computer. dooley

Isn't it great when someone shows you how to get your 'puter back on track? My daughter does all the technical stuff with mine and keeps it running smoothly for me.
