I had this computer for about 3 years now and its still kicking. It has been reformatted trice already since that brontok virus. That was a cruel virus to get with. I'm like a doctor to my computer now since I know when my PC slows down (probably my RAM is loose again or virus), when it doesn't start to windows (due to HD wire connection or virus again), and also what programs he can simultaneously run. How about you? How well do you know your PC?

I sort of built my computer so I know what it can and cannot do. I do admit that I'm not yet a master with dealing with computers, but I think there is always a chance to learn.

Well, I don't know much about my computer because I'm the type who use it, do weekly cleanup, and then if there's something wrong, I'll send it to the technician. My computer will be formatted twice a year, and it's already using 3rd hardisk. I learnt how to reformant the PC but i still kinda slow with it XD

I do not know much about the computers. The fact is that I do not have to do a lot of work over the computers. The computer use for me is limited to the fact that I use the computer mostly for little work and mostly for the purpose of entertainment. And all the work that I have to do is limited to office suite. And some other work that I have is that I email a bit. And I think that for these all things you need not have that mush of a knowledge about the computers. Apart form that i play sometime and at other times I watch some movies and play music over my computer.

I know my computer better then most expercts do. I can do all my trouble shooting myself and I don't really have to look anything up. Its rare that I have to involve a third-party to help me with my system, and thats only if they have to do something I don't have the psycal skill to do. I know my limits. Though I leave most "expercts" shaking their heads.

I had my previous PC running for about 10 years before I was actually forced to part ways with it. I had a few problems with it initially but really...it was one of the best ones of that time. Just because of me playing games, I got a few viruses in it sooner or later. Yet I knew it better than anyone else.
