End of summer! Yahooooo!


I have been slacking lately. I've been very busy. These are fun to read months later.

I have been working and then working some more after work on building and upgrading computers. I have built one system for a guy at work and upgraded 4 others. I have been surprised how many people need work done. I have also been into cleaning viruses and malware. Some people are better off just saving their music and pictures and having me restore the computer to the state when they bought it new. Most need new ones but this helps and it's not expensive. Anyway, I have just finished building a computer for a rich guy. The picture is of some parts for that build. (Intel Corei7 - one of the fastest CPUs made and Mushkin RAM - some of the fstest RAM made) I am installing Windows right now so I'm almost done. I hope I can get a side business going. In plan to try.

I am at the point now where I can do just about anything hardware related. I still struggle with the software a little bit.

The statistics are amazing when you hear them.

The average life of a computer is 3.(something) years. If yours is more than 3-4 years old, it's at the end of life and you had better start looking.]

It all depends on what type of use you are however. If you just use a couple of programs and use e-mail and Internet, you can really stretch the life out a bit. A good rule of thumb is if your machine starts getting errors or can't do what you need....it's time. Always save your important pictures and music, documents, etc.

This has been my thought of the day/month.
