Home Computer Repair – Do It Yourself?
Sep 2nd
Home computer repair is not brain surgery! Most computer repairs can be broken down into two specific areas, software and hardware. Now I do admit that in some people’s hand, a screwdriver can be a dangerous object. But if you can change a light bulb without shocking yourself, I’d bet you could swap out a computer part. Software gets a little trickier but is still within the grasp of most computer users.
I’ve been involved in computer repair in one way or another for over 25 years. The three major repairs I get called for on a weekly basis are:
Spyware/Malware Issues
Hardware failure (power supplies, hard drives, and ram usually)
Computer boot problems (lost password, toasted OS, hardware failure)
All of these can be quite a challenge depending on the value and risk of losing important data, which can be anything from tax records to photos. Any computer can be repaired; it just depends on time and budget. But not all data can be rescued. If a hard drive suffers a catastrophic hardware failure, data recovery is doubtful (unless you want spend 100’s if not 1000’s of dollars for special services).

Although modern software is definitely “smarter” than software developed years ago, many businesses still stumble when implementing new accounting software because they believe that the newer software can simply be installed and everything will begin operating more smoothly. The reality is that selecting the right software is only half the battle – it must be implemented properly to attain the benefits that it advertises. Each software application is unique and therefore must be implemented differently, but some common practices exist for making any financial software implementation smooth.
Prior to purchasing any software, the business should do proper research in to a particular applications features and functionality to ensure it is the best for your applications. After identifying the right solution, the process of successfully implementing it can be benefited by adhering to the following guidelines, all of which should be taken in to consideration before even looking at new software.
Create a team of individuals responsible for overseeing the entire software process – from identifying needs to picking software to implementing it. The team needs to have representation from all departments that are directly effected by the company’s accounting software and should be led by a manager capable of taking their thoughts in to consideration before making any decisions.
Connected Via Computer Network
Aug 30th
Most of us remain ignorant over how a computer works. We simply just turn on the computer and connect to the internet to access various websites. However, have you ever wondered how we can log on to the internet?
Basically, you are connected by a computer network which is divided into two major categories. They are the client/server network and peer-to-peer network. In the client/server network, there is a computer which plays the major role known as server whereby all the files, data in the form of web pages, documents or spread sheets files, videos, database and resources are kept. Other computers which get information and data from the server are therefore known as client. Hence the term client/server network whereas in the peer-to-peer network, all the computers play equal roles because no computer act as the centralized server.
In a computer network, there is something called a network topology which describes the structure or layout of a network. Some of the network topologies are described as the star, bus, ring and mesh structure. For example in the star topology, all the computers in the network are connected by a centralized device such as hub or switch which form a ‘star structure.’ However if one of the hubs fails to function, then the computers within the network will lose their connectivity and communication.
