Blessings in disguise, my dear ! Blessings in disguise !

Fact... A Rock Solid One That Is Not Going To Go Away In My Lifetime...

One of the best things you can possibly do for yourself in regards to your computer is to WIPE THE MONSTER at least every 6 months...
Not some ponsy Windoze "format" during the install of your OS... NO !
I mean something REAL such as Partition Manager or whatever else you may prefer.

Want a clean computer ?
Clean it.

Got a problem that takes more than a max of 10 hours to sort and fix ?
Wipe it and go from nada.

Once you've done a number of proper formats and installs of your OS and all desired applications, you'll whizzzzzz through them afterwards. No Big Deal. And you'll sure put together one ace collection of program installers and learn the magic of BACKING UP your prsonal files - If you're really good you'll save all of your stuff 15 minutes BEFORE you crash - bit like always reefing a mainsail 15 minutes before you get hit by a wall of wind !

p.s. Be sure to charge your friends real money when they see what you can do !

So, spirits up and no more, "Woe is me !"
