Why is My PC So Slow?

October 21, 2008, 05:16 PM — 

In this final segment of my 3-part series on, "Why is my PC so slow" I explain the final culprits that could be slowing your laptop or desktop to a crawl. In part 1 we covered stopping the start-up items from loading at boot and how to clear off your desktop but keep the files you need within a click away. In part 2, I showed how to stop things running in the background that don't need to be.

And the final segment ends with a free book on how to maintain your computer with routine maintenance.

You see, I found out that many people think I teach on some high level that even beginners can’t understand. I also found out that some people think I’m giving a sales pitch like all the other Internet marketers out there and I’m going to sell you a useless book that has a back-end product on it that will promise to teach you the real stuff. Guess what? That’s not me. That’s not how MICE does business.

But the only way I can prove that to you is to show you how I teach and how I write eBooks! So that’s the reason for this freebie. My best eBook that I think I’ve written is yours FREE today for being such loyal readers of my blog!

Go get your free eBook now!

In this day of unethical Wall Street money grubbers, it's nice to know you can still trust someone!

Where Google Chrome security fails: the password
I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.
