Episode 4 – New (and older) Computer Optimization
Ok so I promised this as episode #3, I lied… deal with it.
In this episode we ponder how to get that new computer set up and optimized. Some of these tips and tricks will be applicable to the older computers as well.
- Use Free Antivirus
- Delete Crapware
- Other Stuff… aka I don’t remember the rest, so listen.
I started dozing during the editing of this episode so if there are rough spots blame my children for not ever letting me have a full nights worth of sleep.
