Surfing the internet for the novice should be a fun experience. Take time to find a home page you like and start there, be it Yahoo or MSN. Both have very interesting content that changes throughout the day.

Start off with your desktop. If you've got desktop icons with images that don't display or you've got stuff on there that you don't even recognize, your desktop could use some work.

Also, usually if the icon image doesn't show up, the problem may have been deleted and the icon references something that doesn't exist.

There comes a time in every computers life where things just don't seem to go its way. We have all known the frustration and stress of using a computer that’s just a little bit too old and takes forever to do, well, anything. Usually this is only because the programs your running on it are designed for faster computers, but hey you have a computer so who cares if it's a little slow right?

It results in a computer with a cursor that you can barely move until you have waited half an hour after you pushed that ON button.

I doubt that even the misshapen love child of Michael Dell and Bill Gates could bring about the End of Times for Open Source, so I decline to be more paranoid than otherwise necessary.
