Tech Stuff - New Computer!
With computer prices dropping so quickly, it's tempting to buy a new computer and upgrade your entire system to the next level -- or if you're like me, several levels. One thing to remember, many of the new systems do not include a recovery CD. (A recovery CD contains all of the programs that your system had installed when you first bought it.)
Before doing anything else, burn a CD using one of the many excellent disk-imaging tools to capture how your system looks. That way if something catastrophic happens (and it will), you can quickly get your computer back to first base. Also remember to create a boot disk. If you don't, you can count on your system crashing.
MY ADVICE endeavors at keen.com. The number is 1-800-275-5336 (800-ask-keen) + ext. 0329063 for tech stuff, 0329117 for running a small business, and 0329144 on investing. Want to CHAT, I use Yahoo's IM as the_web_ster. View me in the Friends & Family part of webcamnow.com, just click on "view cams", then in the Java window click on WebcamNow Communities drop down arrow & select Friends & Family. Under the live webcams look for & click on me "the_webster".
