3. The Cache is the section of the computer where .gifs, .jpegs, and other high density files oxidize
Edited on Mon Jan-28-08 05:34 PM by Bucky
You have to literally clean out that section of your hard drive about once every two years (depending on usage). I recommend using water, baking soda, and a soft tooth brush. Some of your high end computer stores charge about $15 for a speciality C-Drive cleanser and brush set, but really the baking soda ought to do the trick.

Just make sure you don't used anything like Ajax or other industrial soaps. They help bust up the invisible oxidation nodes, but can also lead to a slow corruption of your operating system interface, which causes Windows to switch over to black-and-white safety mode. Apparently XP is suppposed to fix this problem, but I'd advise sticking with the baking soda as cleansing agent just in case.

8. This is terrible advice! You failed to mention that only distilled water should be used
Do you want someone to ruin their computer!?
