The problem in computers

The Year 2038 problem is similar in nature to the Year 2000 Problem. Design issues result in the production of computer systems which cannot handle dates beyond a fixed time in the future. When a time too great for the storage capabilities of the software is referenced, an overflow or wraparound occurs. The resulting time will be in the past and calculations erroneous.

The Importance of Passwords

The use of good, strong passwords by computer users is an indispensable tool in the maintenance of any confidential data for which they are responsible, and in the protection of their systems against attack and abuse. If your password is deliberately or accidentally disclosed, it becomes compromised and therefore weak. The use of a weak password may allow someone to assume your identity and use, amend or delete any of the records or files you are responsible for.

Properly situated and cared for, a personal computer (PC) will withstand extensive use. Most computers have a user's manual which includes a section on physical maintenance, and this should be read carefully. Safety and operating instructions should be followed and kept for future reference, and all warnings should be heeded. The common sense points outlined below can help prevent damage and improve the utility of a computer.

History

Posted Sun, 09/21/1997 - 09:09 by trevox

Trevox Associates was established as a business name in 1976 along with Trevox Electrical and Trevox Sound. The names reflected the direction in which individuals' abilities were applied. We took on board the perhaps unlikely combination of electrical contracting, public address and music roadshows and computer consultancy. Our original and continuing purpose is to act as a focus for the talents and aspirations of our associates, providing a quality service to our customers. Gradually our focus shifted to Information Technology and Web-based services
