Computing tips
❖ Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer's temporary memory until
you save it to the disk. If the network you are using goes down
and you must restart your computer to reconnect, or your
battery runs out of charge while you are working, you will lose
all work since you last saved.
❖ Back up your files to disks (or other removable media) on a
regular basis. Label the backup copies clearly and store them in
a safe place.
❖ Scan all new files for viruses.
❖ Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light indicates
a drive is active.
