Dear CSnappers,
I have a couple of questions that I am not very sure how to go about doing it, so I am hoping someone can enlighten me the correct way of doing it.
1.) I have finally shifted all my workload to my Macbook (yeah!), and I guess it is time for my 6yr old Acer to "retire" officially. Took me a while to transfer all my files. However, the question is, what am I supposed to do with the Acer? :dunno:
Although it has served me well over the years but frankly speaking, it is time for it to "go". I have a barely 1yr old desktop which is much more powerful so in a way, it is pointless for me to keep the Acer. My friend said I could sell it for a low-low rate as scraps or spare parts but at the same time, I don't want people to try and recover my files. I don't mind selling it but how do I go about the proper way before discarding my Acer?
2.) Yesterday, I finally converted my place to wireless surfing! I got someone from Starhub to come down and set up everything for me (FOC, since I also subscribed to cable). So when I asked him about setting up a password to prevent anyone from mooching, he said "Starhub doesn't encourage their customers to install passwords because customers may forget their passwords, and it becomes their problem" :dunno:
The technician also mentioned that he has "created a filter so that nobody can have access to my network". I followed my router's instructions that comes with the package and went to the website. Trouble is, I don't know how to go about setting a password and (gasp), I am scared that I may just screw up something easily.
Hope someone can enlighten me because I am pretty much a tech idiot, and this is my first time I am using wifi at my place so a lot of things appear quite alien to me. :embrass:
