Joe Hatch Pays a Visit

Last class, Joe Hatch came to talk to us about the Trinity computer network. Ms. Belisle mentioned that he was the go-to guy when it came to computers here, so I wanted to pay particular attention to what he had to say. First of all, that annoying Clean Access thing actually helps us by scanning through our computer registry and looking for specific registry keys (doesn’t scan the whole computer), such as what operating system we are running. It also ensures that we have enough security applied to our operating system and it makes sure we have a specific Anti-Virus product. The most important thing I learned was that CCleaner is the best tool that ever existed for computers. It helps us to clean (no kidding!) out old files and cookies from our system so it can run faster. Joe showed us how to download it in case we didn't already have it, and then he ran it on Ms. Belisle's computer to show us just how many cookies it can collect. He suggested that we run it about twice a week on our computers. I ran it the other day, and I was amazed at how many GB of cookies that the CCleaner collected. I learned a lot about how a computer can run more effectively, and I owe it to Joe Hatch. Thank you ;-)!
