Often times we find that when our computers are running good, we often fail to take precautions to protect our precious data. I know myself, when you are totally comfortable with the performance of your computer, you forget that parts of your system are run by mechanical motors (The Hard Drive) while the rest of your system relies on hundreds of tiny chips, capacitors and resisters which all extremely sensitive to heat and electrical spikes. In addition, don’t forget the constant deluge of Malware that is thrown at you almost every day you are on the computer. As if this were not enough, how about putting human error in the equation. How many times have you accidentally erased an important file that you cannot live without? It has probably happened a lot more times then you would like to think about.
to focus on after purchasing a computer is what you plug into it, as well as what you load onto it; in other words, software and hardware. Think of the actual computer as a foundation in which to build off of, and trust me, you are going to want a sturdy foundation for any type of work from home. The minute something goes wrong could mean the difference between keeping a gig or job, and losing it.
