Like it or not, sooner or later the trusty desktop or laptop you have come to take for granted is going to need fixing.

A lucky few, get away with a quick one hour in and out of the repair shop, but more often than not by the time it gets to the repair shop some DIY and a little help from friends has turned old faithful into a major repair job.
A few ideas that could help you and save you on repair costs:
You know that backup you plan on doing? Do it. Do it today!

9/10 customers when asked whether they have back ups of info don't.

Backing up while your machine is running is cheap, it costs you some of your time. Paying to have it recovered from a dead machine adds to the repair cost and there is always the risk that the data is lost.
Use AntiVirus software.

Spending a few rand on a decent AntiVirus program can and most likely will save you a trip to the repair shop.
Software.

Store your operating disks and software in a safe place, this can speed up repair time and lower costs.
Safe handling and transporting

Electronic equipment gets irritated when bumped and knocked around so when all else fails, try to resist the urge to "drop test" your PC

Ensure that power is switched OFF at the mains prior to connecting and disconnecting your equipment.

That same crackling sound you sometimes hear when unplugging a kettle.. well thats the sound you hear just before discovering you killed your power supply!]]> no_email@example.com (Bipod) http://webworxpro.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=4#4 http://webworxpro.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&p=3#3
Webworxpro has been linked to chat since it first started out back in the days when chat and msn chat were enjoying a huge following and I have linked this site to the Phreik Chat network to keep this type of communication available.

This site has been rebuilt a number of times and chances are will be built again, reason for new sites is they tend to get hacked every now and again.
I will never fully understand, the mentality that goes hand in hand with screwing up a site and others work, risking prosecution for no reward, but thats a story for another day

woman in the convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark
naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my 5-year-old shout from
the back seat, 'Mom, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'

2) OPINIONS
On the first day of school, a first-grader handed his teacher a note from
his mother. The note read, 'The opinions expressed by this child are not
necessarily those of his parents.'

3) KETCHUP
A woman was trying hard to get the ketchup out of the jar. During her
struggle the phone rang so she asked her 4-year-old daughter to answer the
phone. 'Mommy can't come to the phone to talk to you right now.
She's hitting the bottle.'

4) MORE NUDITY
A little boy got lost at the YMCA and found himself in the women's locker
room. When he was spotted, the room burst into shrieks, with ladies
grabbing towels and running for cover The little boy watched in amazement
and then asked, 'What's the matter, haven't you ever seen a little boy
before?'

5) POLICE # 1
While taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, I was
interrupted by a little girl about 6 years old. Looking up and down at my
uniform, she asked, 'Are you a cop? Yes,' I answered and continued writing
the report. My mother said if I ever needed help I should ask the police.
Is that right?' 'Yes, that's right,' I told her. 'Well, then,' she said as
she extended her foot toward me, 'would you please tie my shoe?'

6) POLICE # 2
It was the end of the day when I parked my police van in front of the
station. As I gathered my equipment, my K-9 partner, Jake, was barking,
and I saw a little boy staring in at me. 'Is that a dog you got back
there?' he asked.
'It sure is,' I replied. Puzzled, the boy looked at me and then towards
the back of the van . Finally he said, 'What'd he do?'

7) ELDERLY
While working for an organization that delivers lunches to elderly
shut-ins, I used to take my 4-year-old daughter on my afternoon rounds.
She was unfailingly intrigued by t he various appliances of old age,
particularly the canes, walkers and wheelchairs. One day I found her
staring at a pair of false teeth soaking in a glass. As I braced myself
for the inevitable barrage of questions, she merely turned and whispered,
'The tooth fairy will never believe this!'

DRESS-UP
A little girl was watching her parents dress for a party. When she saw her
dad donning his tuxedo, she warned, 'Daddy, you shouldn't wear that suit.'
'And why not, darling?'
'You know that it always gives you a headache the next morning.'

9) DEATH
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister
heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt.
Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin.
Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small
box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of
the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers
and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his
father always said: 'Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and
into the hole hegoooes.' (I want this line used at my funeral!)

10) SCHOOL
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. 'I'm just
wasting my time,' she said to her mother. 'I can't read, I can't write,
and they won't let me talk!'

11) BIBLE
A little boy opened the big family Bible. He was fascinated as he fingered
through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He
picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that
had been pressed in between the pages.
'Mama, look what I found,' the boy called out.
'What have you got there, dear?'
With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, 'I think it's
Adam's underwear!'
