What You Need To Know About YOUR Technology
- Where are your CDs to recover your PC in the event of a failure? Most
PCs either come with recovery DVDs or a recovery partition. You usually get
the option to make CDs from the recovery partition and I recommend you do
this if you have not. If your hard drive fails, you will need these
CDs/DVDs.
- Who is your ISP and what is your account information for your Internet
connection? How are you connected? If it is DSL, who is your provider?
Qwest? Earthlink? What is the DSL phone number and your account information?
You will receive this with your connection information. If it is Comcast,
what is your account user name and password?
- If you have a website, what is your administrative account information
for your domain name AND for your web hosting. And not just for these, but
all your user accounts and passwords.
- Backup strategy – how are your backing up and can you restore what you
back up?
- Free software. Think before you buy, or call me. Before you buy
antivirus software, call me. The best on the market may be free. Before you
buy Webroot or Zone Alarm or McAfee, call me. If you are not married to
Microsoft Office, use a free product that has compatibility with Microsoft
Office. Want to make free phone calls? Call me. It’s very easy and it’s
free!
