Sunday morning

DUST! 2 months ago my computer started freezing. All I could do was turn it off at the wall and start up again ... not good. The problem got more frequent to the point where I could get online for a max 3 minutes and it would seize up. I tried system recovery, no joy. Wiped the disc altogether, managed to save most important stuff elsewhere, and started again. It booted up and ran much quicker, for 3 mins max. Changed the monitor, the mouse, some cables ... 3 minutes max. Just as I was about to heave it off the balcony of my 4th floor apartment as the radical option my computer repair guy mentioned it might be a bit dusty. For not more than a few bob he opened it up and gave the guts a good clean out ... computer is now running perfectly. No need for a replacement, phew, no virus attack from Mars, and back on track determined and deadly! So if you're out in the desert, or get a bit lax on your house cleaning, do a bit of dusting and your computer will be more lasting. Have a great Sunday.
