Hardware Tips, from me to you:
- Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not back there.
- If you can hear it humming, clean it.
- If you hear it screaming, hurry up.
- Never, ever let your computer get to growing fuzz on top of the dust, on top of lint.
- If your grid thingies are covered with solid fuzz on top of dust on top of lint, and you’re quite surprised to find a grid underneath and imagine that must be for air intake, consider cleaning it more often. Duh.
- Wear a breathing mask while cleaning.
- Purple Pigs, Cream Cheese Frosted Brownies and Vacuum Cleaners go well together at midnight.
- Joint compound really dries out your hands. Use lotion.
(oops, sorry about getting off track there, hic!)
Ooh and P.S.
- Digital photos make great reference material when putting it back together!

Hey there. Do you have more brownies? That sounds really nice right now.
I am wide awake as well. Must be the air in Illinois or something.
I just finished folding clothes.
And after looking at your picture I pulled out my computer and checked out the back side. Mine looks much better. Whew!
What do you do when you can not sleep?

I hope you guys are all asleep now! Purple pigs? What’s dat?
Leanne, you are a nut!
I am sure that mine looks much worse. I cannot remember the last time I even looked at the back of it. Yikes.
What’s a purple pig? I get the brownies. 🙂
I had a big time yesterday cleaning out behind of my fridge. There was this smell, and I was trying to figure it out. Apparently, the cat stole one of my sandwiches in a ziploc bag (as he tends to do) and it ended up under the fridge. For how long, I can’t even guess. Needless to say, after cleaning, there was much Febreeze spraying. :scare:
Having had to replace the fan on my laptop a few months ago (required taking if fully apart down to the mother board)I am a bit more fanatical about vaumning behind the computer desk and computers.
I have a brownie mix think I might go make some. Thanks so for featuring my site for T13 yesterday it was a total shock!! :wave:
I LOVE your website. I am so jealous. :zombie:
Hey Leanne! I want some of that what you’ve got. :cyclops: I’m too scared to look behind the computer. On my TT that wasn’t my dad who made the graphic pictures with the baby. It was a link from Neal Boortz’s site that J’mon sent to me. :jester: I love all of these fun emoticons on your site. They are sooo fun! I could sit here forever checking them out. :swimming:
NO purple pigs…just fat cats that can’t catch nibbling mice here in the country.
[…] that lately. Seriously. This is your annual reminder. Don’t let your hard drive look like this. Or start making the death […]
