I remember when I first got a PC and hadn't a clue what to do or where to start. Most of what I've learned has been by trial and error and by the goodness of others willing to share what they know. There are some people out there who are possessive of their knowledge but like to show off their skills and people like that really bug me but life is full of them I suppose. For every one like that there is at least one more willing to share.

I still forget how to do things if I haven't done them for a while and I'm sure that Homer Simpson was right when he said that each time you learn something new a bit of old info falls out of your brain because things seems to fall out of mine with alarming regularity.

Talking of things it's easy to forget to do, like clearing the cache, I'm a classic for not doing back ups of things and I learned a lesson in that when I lost all my customisation of windows. I have redone it and this time I have made a back up. But this thread has just reminded me that it's quite a while since I defragged. There was once a time when I didn't even know what that meant. I was chatting to someone one day who was having trouble with their PC and I asked if they'd cleared their cache recently to which I got the response "What's a cache?" I wonder how many people don't know but are just afraid to ask.
