Larry's talk about computer purchase :)

Today, Larry came and talk to us about different parts of a laptop, explained to us how expensive they are and how careful we should be when using our laptops.

But the first thing is about backing up. He brought us both the good news and the bad news. The bad news is that how you can lose your files and fire your laptop so easily. He gave us two examples of 2 young ladies. The first one lost all her images of 4 years in Trinity because her hard-drive got crashed. And the other lost her dissertation as her laptop fell down to the pool and hence got fired. I have never evaluated the true importance of backing up until I heard those sad stories. As much money you can put on, you will never see your files again once your laptop gets fired or your hard-drive collapses. But the good news is that we have tons of ways to back them up. Here we go!!!!  Thanks to the technology, Trinity students now have space to store their stuff, not like years ago. As a result, you always want to put all your essential files into Y-Drive, or a portable hard-drive if you have one.

So BACK UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP AND DON'T WAIT TO DO THAT UNTIL U LOOSE SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

The second point is that you always want to be careful while using your computer. Below are few bullet points you need to remember:

Never spray anything on your monitor.

Make sure ur laptop is unplugged before you wipe it.

Be careful whenever you eat/drink something while using laptops because any drop/spiltting can fire everything.

The third point is going with a Dell. He made me regret because I already purchased a Toshiba at the beginning of the semester. However, now I know it and I am gonna tell everyone who is gonna buy a laptop to choose Dell. If any problem ever happens with your Dell laptop, Dell will replace them without any cost. The story about his son was really funny and woke me up after a long day of classes but I think I am not brave enough to pour one gallon of iced tea into my Dell and watch how it fires.

Awesome class, full of information and Larry is a funny guy too.
