Speed Up Your Computer In 5 Minutes – Video 1 of 3

Hi! My name is Gabe Belanger, MCSE bsc., of Computer Geeks On Call ( sales@computergeeksoncall.ca ). I have been working in the IT industry for 9+ years and I wanted to provide some training for one of the most common issues I deal with each day: slow computers. In about 5 minutes you will be able to safely and effectively speed up your computer and free up some RAM. How? This is done by disabling programs that run automatically when you start your computer. How do these programs get on your system? They come with the installation of programs such as Norton Anti-virus, Microsoft Office, etc. The problem happens not with one or two programs but with say 10 or 20 programs you install over a few months – the extra processing required to run these, often unecessary progams, slowly but surely slow down your computer. Best of all this tool is included with Windows 98, ME, XP and VISTA. It is something every person should do to keep their system running quickly. Adding RAM is often not a solution and neither is getting a new, faster computer – eventually as you install software the computer will slow down again because of the sheer number of extra programs that run.

How Computers Work – Journey Into The Walk-Through Computer

[Recorded 1990] How Computers Work: A Journey Into The Walk-Through Computer is an educational video produced by The Computer Museum and hosted by David Neil of pbs’s Newton’s Apple. Join David Neil and his four young companions on an entertaining and illuminating trek through The Computer Museum’s one-of-a-kind, two-story working model of a desktop computer. The Computer Museum in Boston, Massachusetts was the predecessor institution to the Computer History Museum located in Mountain View, California since 1996. Sadly, the walk-through computer did not move to California with the Computer Museum’s collection, but as you can see from this video, it was a very engaging exhibit.
