Top 10 common misconceptions about computer use

BY STEPHEN BACH

1: Macs are virus-proof.

While it’s true that Macs are less vulnerable to viruses than PCs, they are not completely immune. It’s important to be cautious when downloading files or visiting websites and antivirus software is helpful.

2: Deleting files means they’re gone forever. Many people believe that once a file is deleted, it’s gone forever.

From P. A6 there from time to time, but it’s where the magic happens. So I’ve had half an eye cocked to the calendar ever since, waiting for baseball season to arrive.

It did arrive, finally (not that you could tell from the cold weather). Waylon got selected to the Orioles, and I volunteered to help coach. Now, I’d told myself prior to coming to Marblehead that this season I would just be a spectator. For one thing, I felt like I’d gotten

However, this is not true. In many cases, deleted files can be recovered using data recovery software. If you have accidentally deleted a file and then emptied the trash, don’t panic! Shut down your computer and bring it to a computer professional. There is a very good probability that your “deleted” file(s) can be recovered. However, if you do want to delete, it’s important to use secure file deletion methods if you want to ensure that your data is truly gone.

3: The more expensive the to town five minutes ago, maybe I didn’t need to be yelling at kids to hustle? (Why don’t they, though?) Second, I thought Waylon could use a break from Coach Dad. But two other things are true, in Wyoming or Massachusetts or any other state: first, every youth organization takes volunteers. And second, I don’t do well on the sidelines. I like to jump in.

Waylon and I loaded up the car for the short drive to Gatchell’s recently for the first game of the season. Both nervous and excited to be headed back out there, me probably more than computer, the better it is. Not really a misconception, but I’ve added it here anyway. There are many factors that go into determining the quality of a him. An hour prior to game time, it was perfect sunny baseball weather. I felt about as good as you legally can stepping with a mouthful of sunflower seeds and a pitch counter in my hand. The field was in lovely condition, a credit to all the volunteers with Marblehead Youth Baseball, and all was ready. But then a very Marblehead thing happened: five minutes before first pitch, a sea fog rolled in to blanket the whole park. I’d never been in such conditions for baseball before. Could you even see a pop fly up there in all that mist? (Yes – the Oriole outfielders handled computer, including hardware components, software and support, but as a general rule, a more expensive computer has better quality components, a faster processor and/or more memory or hard drive size. it well.)

4: Closing apps doesn’t make a difference. Many people believe that not closing apps (applications/programs) will not matter in terms of performance. This is not always the case. Closing some apps may free up system resources on computers with less RAM memory or a slower hard drive.

Then someone flipped on the stadium lights. The green grass shimmered and the chalk lines fairly glowed. Mist rolled across the outfield. The boys in their bright uniforms trotted like sprites across the grass. Baseball sure does lend itself to poetry. That evening there in Gatchell’s, it wrote itself. You just have to take it in.

The Orioles won in a nailbiter over the Yankees, 4-3. Waylon played a decent game, snagged a couple hits, tossed a couple good innings from the mound. I got to coach third. It was glorious

5: All online information is trustworthy. With the abundance of information available online, it’s easy to assume that everything you read is trustworthy. This is not the case. It’s important to verify the credibility of sources before using information found online, as there are many nefarious operators out there.

6: Pop-up ads indicate a virus. Pop-up ads are a common annoyance when browsing the

COMPUTERS, P. A8 and pure and all baseball ought ever be.

I’ve been involved in maybe a couple hundred youth baseball games now. So while it wasn’t exactly a first time, it was my first time here, and in the fog, and with a new group of kids, on the cusp of a new season. Still, the same game we played back in Wyoming is the same game we played in Marblehead. And I’m happy just to be out on the field.

As always, if you’ve got an idea upon which I can embark for a Marblehead First Time, drop me a line at court.merrigan@gmail.com.
