Computer Care Computer life by Alan Stainer If you have read my column for a while, you may have noticed that I fix computers. I love being able to get the most out of a machine and extending its life. I also believe everyone is capable of doing simple repairs, maintenance and upgrades themselves if they are shown how. It saves you money and it leaves more time for tech professionals to spend on the more difficult tasks. That’s part of the reason I write a tech column and why I got involved with Kinder Living (that’s kinder as in being kind, not like the chocolate eggs) and the offshoot Kinder Tech. We’re holding our third Kinder Tech event on the 3rd of March in Horsham, where a group of us techie types will be on hand throughout the day to answer questions, perform simple repairs and give advice. It’s all free on the day too! One great way to get a new lease of life out of an old machine is to replace the Windows operating system with Linux. Linux is secure and much less resource intensive than Windows and is a perfect fit for most older hardware. We usually have several computers running Linux at the show so you can see for yourself.
