Today, 2/10/2020, is National Clean Out Your Computer Day! Needed computer cleaning/upgrades.

  1. I have old documents, many duplicates that I need to clean out.
  2. I have numerous spreadsheets of customers and their account managers that I don’t need any longer.
  3. I need a new tablet!
  4. I need to figure out why my computer tells me it’s having a catastrophic failure every time I shut it down and restart it (which miraculously clears up 100% of the time on the second reboot).
  5. I need to figure out a good backup system for my personal files.
  6. I’ve got a lot of duplicate Christmas music files to eliminate.
  7. Pictures. So many pictures! And I certainly do not need ALL of them. But it will take such a long time to cull through them all and delete the insignificant ones…
  8. I need to go through all the porn. This’ll take much more than a day.
  1. I’d axe Facebook in a minute, but nobody I know even has e-mail anymore.
  1. I need to consolidate my profiles.
