So you just received (or gave) a new netbook, laptop, or desktop PC for the holidays. Congratulations.

I’ve written this article to help you keep that shiny new box with buttons on it running BETTER than new for quite a while. 

 Please remember these are my personal opinions, and may not reflect the views of the KCRA, it’s members or my employer.  Also, you agree not hold anyone liable for following (or not following) any of this advice, no matter what the outcome, loss, or consequences are to you or anyone else.

Ready?

OK here we go.
