ADVICE

LOOKING AT A NEW COMPUTER?

What should I look for? Computer advertising can be confusing. Things to look for are...
1. RAM. Make sure it has at least 2GB- preferrably 4GB.
2. Windows 7 - and NOT Vista. Even XP is better. Many business owners are sticking with XP.
3. A good warranty. Some companies offer longer than the standard 1 year warranty (like us). Check that the warranty is going to be useful if you do have a problem. Some companies take up to 4 weeks to fix a problem- we aim for 1 day.
Got a quote? Give us a call and we can offer advice and possibly even better it.


TAKE CAUTION

Don't Download

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Don't download and install updates from software suppliers unless, it has some particular features you are after. Often these "improvements" can ruin your computer and even stop it from working altogether.

Things that claim to "boost your (fill in the gap) (speed, connection, easy of use)" usually only boost your advertising! Avoid downloading programs like-

* BonziBuddy (he's no one's buddy)
* My Websearch
* Wild Tangent
* Yahoo toolbar. Any toolbar for that matter!
* New.net
* Limewire
* RAM Booster

The only exception to this rule is antivirus, security and windows updates.
