Naw, he's into the corporate stuff, like strategy, marketing, and sales. lol. I'd be hard pressed to find someone who knows less about computers than him, haha, he's more of a pen & paper person, if you know what I mean.

try defragging
also, check out ace utilities, which cleans up junk files on your hdd and registry. it also can encrypt your trash if you're a bit paranoid

backup - format - and your set.
