I have a surge protector because we have frequent power fluctuations and thunder storms, but I have never dusted my computer as you suggested. Great tips, Susanna.

In the UK we tend to not have surge suppressors in the home that often, since the power is a lot more reliable most of the time, but I had to switch to using a UPS in Indiana, because often when there was a severe thunderstorm, the power would go, come back, and halfway through rebooting the computer the power would go off again. That type of activity will wreak havoc on your processor and hard drives. I have seen what a dirty environment does to a pc too, even at home where a tower case has been sited under a desk for several years. The pc needs to be included in the annual spring clean as much as anything else. Good advice.

I spose he puts back into the community and isn't such a bad guy but he has always sold things more expensively than elsewhere. I wouldn’t ever buy anything at Dick Smiths.

When I first started I didn't understand about (or how to create) an in-text link, so that is excellent info to include. My problem then became over-use, I had to break myself of the habit of linking to my own content (on one domain) in every single post. Great advice.
