Backup If You Are Going Paperless

For several centuries, when we think of office jobs, we think of papers and paperworks. But such concept has drastically changed these days. Nowadays, when you think of office works, computers come to mind. Using computers nowadays are neccessity in an office environment, nothing is foreign about it anymore, its a need and its just part of our days work. We use computers for writing notes, preparing print-outs, doing presentations and accounting, organizing business contacts and calendar, etc. We can literally almost eliminate the paper works all together and go paperless. The million dollar question is: What if your computer breaks down tommorrow unexpectedly? Can you function as a business? Can you do the normal tasks you do everyday and get things done without accessing your computer? If you answer a resounding NO to any of these questions then you are dependent on your computer to run your business and in this regard, you need to backup your files and data that you do online that way when a freak instant and your computer breaks down, you have other means of accessing your data and can still function normally without totally being helpless when your system needs a repair. Time is money, you can use other computers but you cannot sit and wait for one computer to get fix before you get going again. When you have a backup of your files that you can access in another system while your computer is down then you are definitely in the higher rank of the heirarchy chart, putting yourself above your computer system. You manage the computer, dont let the computer manage you.

High Priced Disposable Laptop

Almost two years ago I purchased a brand new laptop with all the hypes and whistles available at that time. Its amazing how technology change so fast because everything in that laptop computer is turning obsolete in comparison to what is available nowadays. The worst part is that its only been almost two years and its no longer functional. Since I didnt availed the extended warranty, I cannot get help from the manufacturer without paying to get help or assistance from them which kind of a bummer because paying almost a thousand dollars for an item that broke down even before two years and not get any fixing help is really poor customer service on their part. So we been trying to figure it out ourselves, by process of elimination, having disected such computer, its clear that its not the battery, the ac adapter, nor the CPU that is the problem. Its probably the motherboard that is having an issue which is a complete bummer because it should not have such problem only after two years. In my opinion, motherboards should last a lifetime, atleast 10 years.

Its sad that many computers are built to fall apart within the first two to three years of its purchase, basing on all the readings and research that I have done, I am definitely not alone having issues with broken computer just after two years. Im sure I can find a way to fix it, but the sad thing is the specifications are a little bit outdated as today standards. I only have 4GB RAM, when you can get 8GB to 16GB RAM nowadays. I have a dual core processor in this laptop when nowadays the more powerful quad core, or even six core are already out in the market! Not to mentioned such laptop only have 300GB hard drive, it sounds like a lot of memory at that time but its hardly any space for a person with all the games, graphics, photos that we store nowadays, right? I would definitely prefer atleast 750GB up to 2TB in it.

The amount of money I paid for my laptop two years ago, I can definitely get three times better unit and new. By trying to upgrade my laptop, I would be better off buying a new one. Upgrading RAMS, CPU, hard disk takes time and money and everything adds up, by the time I add everything, I can probably get a new computer cheaper with better and faster performance than my upgraded one. As a consumer, makes you feel like your high priced (one thousand dollar) investment is just a disposable item when they only last for two years by either breaking down or becoming outdated.

Cordless Mouse Innovation

I am a great fan of cordless computer mouse simply because it is so easy to store, easy to carry wherever, and easy to handle and use. We still have few working computer mouse with cords, but with the convenience of cordless mouse, why mess with cords and deal with it?

I specially prefer the cordless mouse design with USB in it and uses a regular battery, that you can buy almost any store, the size AAs or AAAs, the smaller the better...The USB drive you can fit at the back of the mouse when not in uses and automatically turns of the unit and save the battery of the mouse, is such a energy-saving idea.

A computer mouse with cord have its own convenience like not having to worry about separate battery for the mouse, but the battery-saving design of the cordless mouse allows prolong use the mouse before one has to worry of replacing the battery anytime soon. The battery is available in most stores and is the type the battery that most household have stocks of, so it almost the least of cordless mouse users worries.

Jaggling With Printers

When we got our first all-in-one printer years ago, i really like, i still do. Love the different functionalities that comes with it. It can print, copy, fax. I dont use it as often as Id like to because it is setup away from my computer. Before we got the all-in-one printer, we had the Deskjet printer that also print black and white and colored, and thats the one that Ive been using and placed in my work table. Although our Deskjet cannot do everything that i needed to do, it does suffice my need to print most of my black and white printings that consist 99 percent of my printing works. Thats why when the ink for the Deskjet printer went on sale, we bought quite a few back-up inks. Then my hubby bought a digital camera that came with another all-in-one printer, which he gave to me recently. Unfortunately, I cannot use it yet because I have some more back-up or spare deskjet inks that i need to consume first before buying another type of ink for different printer.

Have a wonderful day ahead, thank you from www.HonestlyFresh.com

Nightmare With My CD Drive

The other day I was trying to burn a cd copy of some photos that I took. While working on it, the cd burner software I had was doing just fine, it was busy writing the files in the blank cd that I inserted in the disk drive. Just when all files were almost 100 percent succesfully written in the cd-rom, the whole program hanged, and I could not open the disk drive to eject the disk. I tried pushing the cd drive eject button several times but the drive would not open.

So, as usual I called my hubby to help me with my problem. Hoping that he can come up with an idea to solve the hanging software and trapped disk I had. At that time, I could not think of any other solution, I almost want to detach the whole cd drive in the computer. Good thing my hubby was there to help, because in a matter of few seconds after of doing what I was doing trying to open the drive, which did not work, he asked me if I have programs in my computer that plays cds. Infact, I have dvd movie software player, so I opened it, and there was an eject button in the program menu, when we clicked it with the mouse, the cd drive opended without any problem whatsoever!

Before I finish off this post, just wanna leave you with these:
Do not hesitate to ask for help. Do not hesitate to ask for second opinion. Two minds are better than one! And sometimes, other people ideas might be better than yours, so learn to listen to others too, your ideas are not the only best ideas.
