A Little PC Cleaning Pays Off
Speaker: Gabriel Goldberg, President, Computers and Publishing, Inc.

Audience: All computer users, beginning to advanced. Beginners are invited to bring their questions, and advanced users are invited to offer their experience and expertise during discussion and Q&A.

In addition to physically cleaning your PC, a little occasional effort scrubbing its operating system, hard drive, applications, and data files will pay off with improved performance, reliability, and system life. Easy cleanup steps will be described and demonstrated. Also, two books about PC housekeeping will be highlighted.
