Words of the Wise

Last Thursday before Labor Day weekend, the Essential Computer Skills class at 8:30 a.m. was graced with Joe Hatch's presence. The computer guru knew everything about PC and Mac hardware and operating systems, and walked the class through many things including but not limited to: cleaning up the hard disk, defragmenting it so that files are more congealed rather than split up into millions of little pieces, how to work with different operating systems, and how the Trinity University's network is stored and maintained.

One particular thing I found interesting was the information he gave on how ITS, or Information Technology Services, works on Trinity's Campus. They can help you with any problem ranging from a crashed hardrive to not being able to check email. It makes me feel confident and safe and in my computer usage to know just how protected our network is from outside threats that we would never even think to defend ourselves from.

I was also inclined to download CCleaner, which ended up working wonderfully, thx Joe! =D
