If you're like me and you're computer skills are mediocre at best, it is important to know someone who understands them; especially if you're taking an ICT class. I've had my computer for about two years, and over those two years, I've never taken the time to clean anything out.  It began running very slowly, and for a while I just tried to keep using it like nothing was wrong.  I was trying to work on my website for ICT this weekend.  That became a very hard task as my computer became so slow that I couldn't even work on the website.  After getting so frustrated that I almost threw my lap top across the room, I decided it was probably time to seek help.  Luckily, I had a friend around who said he would take a look at it.  We went through my programs etc. and got rid of a bunch of junk.  The amount of stuff I had clogging up my computer was phenomenal.  Now, since all the stuff I didn't need has been deleted, my lap top works like a dream.  I never would have known what to do.  I guess what I am saying is that my eyes opened a bit over the weekend and I realized how important it is to have a good understanding of computers.  It's kind of like a car; if you get a flat tire, you can pay someone to change it for you, but if you have the knowledge, you can do it yourself.
