Cleaning the Computer, Literally
My computer has been on the fritz lately. It was crashing randomly and it was literally driving me crazy.
Who would have thought that random computer crashes could be attributed solely to dust! I decided to do a thorough cleaning of my computer today. I completely removed every component from my computer case except for the motherboard and processor so that I may clean them. I could not believe how much dust was inside. I think it was the first time I have opened the case since last summer. Something I did notice was the dust inside was not regular dust, but saw dust, presumably left over from all the sanding I did in January. Go figure. Anyway, the computer runs much better now. I guess clean air is good for technology too.
