External Housekeeping

We are all familiar with housekeeping – washing dishes, vacuuming, dusting, etc.  Your computer is no different.  It is a very precise instrument that needs to be cleaned periodically to prevent problems from developing.   A simple piece of dust can be just an annoyance or it can affect the performance of your hard drive. 

General Guidelines Everyone Should Know

1. Keep your work area clean.
2. Save your work often.
3. Hold disks and CD-ROMs by the edges.
4. Close all programs before you shut down your computer.
5. Don't bring food or drinks near your computer.
6. Keep magnets away from your computer and disks.  Magnets can erase information.
