Two nice programs

I thought I mentioned some of the programs I've been using.
First of all I just signed up for a free file service site. It's called adrive.

Go here www.adrive.com
You get 50 gigs of free space to backup your VIP files to. Pretty nice if you ask me.

Also a real nice Anty Spyware program that I've been using to help clean some of the pc's I work on is called
Pc Tools Spyware Doctor starter kit that you can get from Google Pack.
Just go there and take all the checks out of the other programs( unless you want them)and download it. It is free when you get it from Google Pack.

Thats all for today and happy computing.

Mitch's Pc Repair diary

I've decided why not keep a blog on all the computers I fix.
Kind of a how I did it or a how to. Maybe I can help some one else.
Now I don't fix computers everyday as it's a side job. Sometimes I may fix three in a week, then go weeks with out working on any. So, I won't post every day.

I just got done working on a Toshiba Tecra 8200 laptop. The lcd screen is bad, but works fine with a external monitor. I see I could probably get a used one off of ebay for under $100, but it works fine with the external monitor.
I did put a internal wireless card in the Tecra that I got out of a broken laptop that was given to me. It's working fine with xp. I had to splice one of the antenna wires because it would not reach.
I does now.

Thats all for now.
