Top 5 recommended technology goals for 2013
|
|
People tend to procrastinate. As you think about your new year's resolutions or goals, please consider printing this article and complete these 5 recommended technology goals for 2013.
1. If you've got a computer with Windows XP, it's time to replace it with a new computer.
2. Adopt a password system that makes passwords for different things easy to remember. If you already have a unique password for each web site that you log into, use a password manager to store your passwords using a method that's more secure than a little black book.
3. Get serious about email and internet safety, and keep the mindset that anything could be a scam. Read the top 5 scams to watch out for.
4. Adopt a backup system so you won't lose your important files and photos when your computer's hard drive crashes - or in the case of theft, fire, flood, etc. I describe how to do it.
5. Have a 2nd method to do everything in case the first one fails. Examples include: Use a 2nd web browser, a 2nd email address, a 2nd computing device with a 2nd method to access the internet.

Cheap Unlicensed Computer Repair -
"You Get What You Pay For"
Do you have a friend or neighbor who "knows" computers - perhaps someone who just started fixing computers during their spare time? Do they actively keep-up with the computer industry while fixing computers on a daily basis like we do?
Computer Techs has been in business since 2003, and our technicians have over 20 years computer experience.
Our calls for service have leveled off in the past year-or-so due to an abundance of new inexperienced and unlicensed computer repair people. Similar to hiring an unlicensed contractor to work on your home, it may be cheaper to go with someone else in the short term. However, you can count on Computer Techs to get the job done quickly and correctly, and we'll be available the next time you need service. We are often called to finish repairing what someone else didn't fix correctly.
