General Computer Tips
Security Concerns
firewalls - The most important benefit of having a firewall is that it
protects your computer(s) from being accessed directly by other computers on
the internet. A software firewall may be sufficient for dialup users,
however a hardware firewall is recommended if you have high-speed Internet
access (DSL, Cable Modem, etc).
UPS - Uninterruptable Power Supplies protect your computer(s) from
brief surges, sags, or loss of electricity. In the event of a power
failure, with a UPS, you will have time to properly power-down - which can
prevent future problems.
backups - Data loss is inevitable - when it does, you will want to
have sufficient backups of your important data.
