The main screen of a computer
display can be personalized
What is called a desktop in a
computer is the background page that appears when the computer starts
and leaves an image or sometimes a blank screen background where icons
appear; it can be changed for pictures or a web page.
Tape drives are best for
storing large amounts of data
When dealing with large amounts
of data, get a tape backup drive; storing all data only in a computer is
not a smart thing to do.
Keep a record of the computer
specs
When buying a new desktop
always keep a record of the basic info about the computer’s model, make,
memory, microchip type and serial number. This information will be very
helpful for warranty, service or upgrades.
Check the floppy drive before
starting the computer
When starting a computer that
has a floppy drive, make sure that there is no floppy inserted in its
corresponding drive; there may be a system error message displayed if a
floppy is in; remove the floppy and try starting the system again.
Choose the operating system as
well
When shopping for a new
computer, make sure that it has the right operating system for your
needs; small differences in operating systems may prevent a user from
installing and running certain software.
