Default Backup, backup!

I think buying a KVM switch and using a second (older) computer for
surfing and internet stuff is a better option than running antivirus
software cuz it doesn't slow your computer down. And, nowadays you can
buy refurbished desktop computers from Staples for like $250 or less.


The last 3 computers I bought were off ebay for $ 100 or less including the
shipping. Most were just the desk top unit and they usually come with XP
sp3 on them and a cd with the system. Also loaded with some free wear such
as the dvd burning program and Open Office. The last was a P4 3.2 ghz.
As I don't do games, that is fast enough for what I do.
