Looking After Your Equipment
by Stuart Livesey
Nearly every small business person understands the need to care for their tools and equipment but there’s one piece of small business equipment that most people overlook.
They certainly do keep it clean on the outside but it’s the inside tha counts. It’s inside where all the dirt slowly builds up and when that happens this piece of small business equipment can quickly become a fire hazard.
If you haven’t recognised the subject of this photo let me tell that it’s the inside of a very dirty computer. It came into the shop today because it wouldn’t work. When Rick the technician took the side off this is what he found … at least there were no mouse droppings.
Keeping the inside of your computer clean is not difficult and if you don’t feel confident doing it then get your computer shop to clean it on a regular basis. It might cost a few bucks but then you should be keeping your equipment in good operating condition.
