Question Game Programs

As I stated in a previous thread, Lil'Monkey purchased her own computer a few weeks ago. We want to keep it running smoothly.

She has many computer games and learning software. We have never loaded them on my computer. I didn't want to mess up my machine.

Would she be wise to invest in an external hard drive to load this software? She got a great deal on the computer. The whole bundle for $350. It's back up to $598 at WalMart already.

She is buying a wireless card today.

Lightbulb I think so...

It is always wise to have a external back up/harddrive.

They have come down in price quite a bit.

Default

we can never save enough or back up enough because we are only human...and forget at the most inconvenient time..thank you mr murphy...


i always reccomend to all my clients a backup external drive for keeping a backup of information.

as far as loading the games on that one is great idea because with an external drive and the games installed on it. the external drive can then be plugged into any other computer and ran from that one as well.


good question.

i use an external drive to hold a lot of my programs on rather than carry disks every where.


ahhh life is good..


roger.
