Random Thoughts

I'm a web developer and I think that my field is one of the most exciting in the technology world. There are constant innovations and techniques that I have to learn in order to keep moving forward in the field. To do that, I have to do a lot of reading, downloading, installing -- and at the same time make sure I'm protecting my computer from attack. I can't use an outdated machine and hope to keep up with other developers around the world. But that doesn't mean I have to change my computer every time a new version comes on the market.

A simple solution is available. There are numerous downloads on the internet that can enhance the productivity of the machine you are using. However, not every software will be compatible or useful to you. Before you install any software, examine it closely to make sure it is what you need. If it is, you can simply upgrade your machine rather than investing in a brand new one.

For those of us who use Windows on their computers, numerous upgrades are available online for free as well as for sale. Usually, the free version is in the Beta testing stage or it's offered for a limited time as a special offer. Either way, if you are interested in that software, you should go ahead and download it. With the latest version of the software on your computer, you can be sure of better features and greater production output, and that will enhance your user and work experience.

Since most of the Microsoft software upgrades are available on the Windows website, it's easy to install them without the fear of also installing a virus. If you are ever in doubt, you can simply run a scan with your virus protection software and be sure your computer is safe.
