Compy maitenance



It amazes me that there are still people out there that still dont know how to do basic computer maintenance tasks like defraging your hard drive, or clearing your cookies (why are they called cookies anyways? always makes me hungry..), or...cleaning your registry (okay, thats not exactly that basic..even im afraid to do it because of what could happen >.>).

But people go out, buy a nice computer, have it for two years, dont do anything to maintain it at all and wonder why there's lag between their keyboard and the text on the screen, or between the mouse and cursor. Nine times out of ten its because it needs to be defraged, and unfortunetly thats where companies like bestbuy get their money with geeksquad type businesses. They take their computer in, the business defrags it and charge the guy an arm and a leg for running software that was already on their computer to begin with!!

I just think its so stupid...If you get a computer, you should know how to take care of it. There should be a crash course in computer maitenance...
