how to make your computer work forever
December 23rd, 2007I’m going to share a secret with you.
Do you want to know how to make your computer work forever??
I know it sounds impossible, but it’s actually quite easy. Well, probably not that easy, but definitely possible. It amounts to two simple rules:
- Keep your backups up to date. This is the most important. As soon as your backups are not in sync, your old computer will fail. And I mean instantly.
- Plan to buy a new, more powerful or otherwise better computer, every single time you turn old faithful on. This is another key requirement. The slightest concession will lead to failure.
Trust me. Two years and counting. I had my last failure two days ago: a new power brick, and back here I am. My notebook will never die… as long as I follow the two golden rules.
