When
every bit of information or data processed in an organisation is at a mercy of
an inhuman machine called computer, one needs a humane approach in dealing with
computers. Agreed that computers don’t have minds of their own, but they do
have life, i.e. expected period till they are going to last. And yes, they do
get infected by viruses. But here we aren’t talking of computer viruses. We
will talk about routine repairs and maintenance.
Computers
aren’t built to last forever. In fact, we see introduction of latest, advanced
machines almost daily which make your existing computers outdated. However,
with little care and maintenance, computers can give years of service.
