I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten a call from one of my less tech savvy friends with a frantic statement of “my computer hates me”. It’s always the same story. They didn’t back up their data and their hard disk crashed. Unfortunately, I can’t always help them but deleted files can be restored with the right technology. Check out Flashback Data for example. Their industry leading solution allows them to Recover Deleted Files from any media type or operating system. But remember, even though your files can be recovered – you should still maintain regular backups of your important files.

I remember when computers were fun. I’m not talking about what you could do with your computer (no doubt you can do more today) but about the time when just messing around with your machine was a cool thing. I guess we didn’t take things for granted as much as we do today and every part of our machine, every meg of ram (or kb) was so important. But even though computers are purchased at places like Walmart today you can still enjoy the pleasure of building your own machine and tweaking every component. Don’t worry, it’s not as complicated as you think. Easyasmypc.com sells easy to assemble PC Kits which come with all the parts you need to build your own custom machine or upgrade your existing one. The accompanying explanations are simple to follow and full illustrations make sure you easily identify every part and procedure. Other than the fun of building your own machine you also save significantly compared to a pre assembled unit.
