Hechler's Hardware

Thursday in class, Larry Hechler came to talk to us about computer hardware. I learned a lot of valuable information from this lecture. First, I learned I should never touch my computer's LCD, which I definitely do all the time. Now I know that I should not touch it or clean it with anything other than techspray specifically for computers. I also learned a lot of good information for purchasing computers. The Dell warranty, which I didn't know about before, sounds like a great deal, and although I currently have a Mac, if I ever need another computer I know to look around at other brands to compare warranties now. The most important part of the lecture was the advice on backing up computers. I heard a lot of horror stories about lost information due to some kind of accident, and I am now in the process of backing up all my photos, homework, etc. You can never be to careful, especially for me with my pictures, since they only exist on my computer and I would be really sad if I lost them! Thank, Mr. Hechler, for warning me before I lost all my information!
