Larry was a guest lecturer in our class today. He works in the Hardware Department at Trinity. Also, he's been working in this field for the past 30 years.
He started with emphasising the importance of back-up specially for a college student. We should back-up almost every week. He gave us examples of how students at Trinity had lost either their complete photographic history or 200 hours of thesis work due to an accident and without a back-up everything is lost.
After he told us that the monitor or the touch pad of a computer must never be cleaned with alcohol, acetone or ammonia. They would ruin the finish on the screen and maybe make the LCD stop working.
Only a lint-free cloth with a dab of water must be used for cleaning purposes.
He pointed out that the laptop must not be kept directly on the carpet or on the bed because it blocks the wind intake point. And the computer needs to take in air for cooling purposes.
For the battery's health and long life, he suggested to run down the battery to the warning level and then full charge it. This way the battery remembers that it has to work for the full amount.
He also explained the complete care packages of dell and apple.
His visit was really helpful for all of us.
