At the Indiana Governor’s Council for People with Disabilities 2010 Conference, I presented a workshop on computer maintenence and "life support" for older computers.
I've posted all the course materials, including the PowerPoint and my notes. I have converted the PowerPoints into .pdf files to make them easier to download.
If you have any questions, comments, or success stories, please email me. Also, everything but the handouts is copy-protected. If you need printable copies, please email me.
This presentation is just an overall guide to computer maintenance. You should consult your computer's manual and other product support information before trying anything described in this presentation. Neither I nor Fifth Freedom accepts any liability for any damage to your computer or loss of data that may occur.
