Ok now this article will tell you some basic things about computers. Let's talk about how to save a file securily online. This is something you can brag about to your friends and your work mates. Let's start with a free online backup tool called Mozy. Just install it and then choose the folder and folders you want to add to it. The software is free with 2 GB of space on their servers. If you want unlimited space you must pay 5$ a month. It's super cheap for unlimited space. The next way to save files securely online is to use your own email. You only need to send an email to yourself with the file or files you want. Thanks to unlimited space you can send to yourself almost all the files you will ever want to send. If you use a client such as thunder bird you can save yourself a lot of time. YOu can put all emails ready to be sent and then all you need to do is to wait until the software takes care of the rest. Since it's an offline program, it's much faster and better than online Gmail.

Finally you can use Windows Live Skydrive. This thing offers you 25 GB of space. More than enough to save there all your important information and photos. Music and videos will need Mozy professional edition.

Another thing you can do with your computer is to take care of all your photos with ease thanks to Google picasa. This thing will crawl your entire computer and index all the photos on it. It has certain parameters you can edit so you skip photos that do not matter at all such as 1k photos like the icons and similars. This program is also able to send all your photos to Google Web Albums so this way you can save online a copy of each one of your all photos.

Then you can remove an audio track from any video you like. You must have the Mpeg format for it to work. There are many free softwares in the internet to do that for you such as free FLV to AVI and more. After than you can extract the audio with Im Too Audio Encoder. Simply encode the video to MP3. What could be easier?

The next and final thing is how to make sure your computer will always stay up and alert in speed and performance. Forget about windows vista cool graphics. You need full speed. Get rid of Aero and welcome the windows classic theme. Also reduce the color depth to 16 bit only to save both CPU RAM and graphic card. Finally you must disable the index tool that makes your computer super slow all the time.
