Add a 2nd Monitor to Your Computer !

All of our staff, even clerical workers, use dual monitors on their computer. It is one of the those simple little tools that will truly change the way you use computers and make you wonder how you ever lived without it. Having 2 monitors connected at the same time allows you to do so much more in so much less time. You can keep your email in one window, your internet browsing in another or work on a written report on one screen while you do research in another. You can even move information from one screen to another by dragging from left to right and back again. Everything you do will be faster and easier. Software developers and financial traders always use mutliple monitors because it opens up their view or saves them time and who cannot benefit from that? We think every computer should come equipped that way and in fact, many laptops do already.

If you want to add a 2nd monitor to your home computer, just send us a service request. Its quick and easy to do.

Put Your Music, Video, and Digital Photos On a Separate Hard Drive

You should keep all your family photos, videos, and music collection on a separate hard drive. Get a network drive, rather than a USB drive so all computers in the house can share the collection at all times. And have a secondary hard drive attached to make a backup copy and store it at a friend's home in case of a fire or theft. Those pictures of the kids at the beach are too precious to take a chance of loss.

Throw Away Your Hard Drive if it is More Than Three Years Old!

This tip surprises many people but we recommend that any hard drive older than 3 years old be replaced and thrown away (or recycyled) because hard drives lose data. If you take or other suggestion that you keep all photos on an external hard  drive safely protected from computer breakdown, then take this tip too and transfer all that information to a new  hard drive every 3 years. You will protect that data from being destroyed by mechanical or other hardware failure..

Buy Your Own Name as a Domain...and your Children's Names Too!
Is your name owned by someone else? Iimagine if your name is John Smith and someone already has registered it? You could not use it for a resume,  a family website or for any purpose at all. If people typed that name, it  would be taken! So, even if you dont have a website to put up, register your name. If it is taken, register it now with a middle initial. You never know when you are going to need it.

Are your children's names reserved? Hey, let's face it. What good is a mention in the newspaper compared to reserving little Junior's domain name the day they are born? It makes a great gift.

Contact us today and we will help you reserve a domain name and even put up a simple website for you if  you need it!
