Okay at my wifes job, they have an IT guy that I think personally is a moron. Now mind you I am not the greatest PC technician. But here is the deal.

There is a computer that is running slow. Well just quickbooks is running slow.

The specs are.  
1.2 ghz  
256mb of RAM  
40gb HD (5% used of it)  
CD/DVD  
64mb vid card (nothing special)

Well this guy says the only way this can be fixed is to get her a new computer. I told them to start by doing a disk clean up and a defrag. Then follow by checking to see if anything is running in the bgrd that need not be.

They want to fire him because he always takes the easy way out of stuff. I mean I know folks who would kill for those specs on a computer. And he said gettin rid of it and getting a new one is the only way to fix the problem.

What ya’ll think?
