Helpful Computer Hints

This article on Yahoo! News--courtesy of PCWorld.com--provides 10 facts and myths about keeping your computer in good working condition. In my opinion, the most useful is the last--be sure you've completely wiped out all your personal files before selling or giving away an old computer. Simply deleting them via Windows is not sufficient. Sensitive information such as your social security number, credit card numbers, etc., may still be retrievable from the hard drive.
