THE BOTTLE OF WINE
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern
Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the
road.
As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the
Navajo woman if she would like a ride.
With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.
Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk
with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently
at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a
brown bag on the seat next to Sally.
'What's in the bag?' asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, 'It's a bottle of wine. I
got it for my husband.'
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then
speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said:
'Good trade.....' |

Think you have command over
your body? Try this....while sitting down, lift your right foot
off the floor and make clockwise circles. Now, while doing this, draw
the number "6" in the air with your right hand. Your foot will change
direction and there's nothing you can do about it. |

Basic Diagnostics
Once a week you should run a Scandisk & Defrag
operation on your computer, in addition to a spyware removal program (see my
Download section for a free copy of Ad-aware). This will eliminate low-level errors, detect
more serious problems, and speed up your file accessing function. If you
have Windows 95, 98 or XP, click on Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools
and from there you can do the Scandisk, then Disk Defragmenter.
To do a Scandisk in Windows
XP, you need to open up My Computer, right click on the C drive,
Properties, Tools, Check Now. Check both boxes and reboot your
computer to begin the process. Both
Scandisk (the Thorough option) & Defrag work much faster in Safe Mode, so
reboot your system, hit the F8 button every 2 seconds until a menu pops
up, and choose Safe Mode. Then follow the initial instructions in
this paragraph. If your computer takes too long to complete the
Defrag, even in Safe Mode, pick up a copy of Diskeeper online to resolve
this issue. It will keep your hard drive optimized on a daily basis
without slowing down your system..

Viruses
Get a good anti-virus program
installed (like Panda, Norton Antivirus or McAfee VirusScan) on your computer and make
sure the software is set to update automatically. You can buy either of these software programs at your local
office supplies store or online (www.norton.com, for instance). Right now,
Panda is my preferred choice, because
it takes less memory to run than most other programs.
If you don't have virus
protection, it is a matter of time before you experience an expensive &
undesirable result. I've seen it happen too many times.

Backup
Would it hurt if you lost all the data
on your hard drive? Then here's what you do: get an internal zip
drive, a tape backup system, a re-writeable CD ROM drive in place, or even the
latest USB flash drives (about half the size of your finger). Configure some backup software
(included already with your operating system) to do a backup of your important
files, and make sure to indicate that you want the program to verify the backup
job.
To see if you already have backup software installed, click on Start,
Programs, Accessories, System Tools.
Also, you can have a computer person program an icon to do your backups
automatically. Should you ever have me over for a service visit,
have me write a batch program to backup your data in one swift click of an
icon.

Windows Updates
You can download service patches and free software
from Microsoft that may add stability to your system. For users of
Windows 98, click Start, Settings, Windows Update. Your computer
will then try to connect to the Internet. Once it loads up the
Windows Update page on your screen, click on Product Updates. A
software robot will check out your system and make a series of recommended
or available downloads (this could take up to 10 minutes). You then
can pick and choose which ones you want by checking off a box next to each
product. Click on Download, then Download again to confirm.
These programs are self-installing and may ask you to reboot your computer
when you are done.
For Windows ME, XP or Windows
2000 users, the directions are slightly different. Usually, you can
turn on Internet Explorer and click Tools, Windows Update to launch this
service, or click Start, Programs, Windows Update, and proceed on your
way by clicking "next" and "OK" when it asks.

Microsoft Access
If you manage a database with
Microsoft Access, do the following on a weekly basis. First, either use
your backup program or make a copy of the database and put it in a folder called
"Safe". Next, once the database is opened, go to the menu and
click on Tools, Database Utilities, then Compact & Repair. This will
optimize your database performance, remove potential errors, and compress the
size of the database file.

Removing Temporary Internet
Files & Cookies
These instructions may be
more or less different according to your operating system and browser
type. However, if you are using Internet Explorer 5.0 or greater, this
should help. Click on Start, Settings, Control Panel, and then
double-click on Internet Options. In the window that pops up, click on
"Delete Files", check off "Delete all offline content" then
click OK. You can then click on "Settings" and "View
Files" to select which cookies you want to delete. The general rule
is to remove any cookies that refer to websites you don't care about.
