my computer first aid kit ~ just put it all in one place, keep liquids from paper and cds and discs and its ready to help you......or even better, its all nice and handy to run over to your moms, sisters, friends, and help them 'fix' their computer. first item is my newbie cd ~ its a cd with a dozen or so programs that are tried and true need to have programs ~ always good, because you don't need to download, just ready to install and update. extra great for folks on dial up ~ even though they are mostly small. most of these are small enough to put on a disc as well. make your own with whatever programs you think are needed ~ then i have the rescue kit altogether in a nice bag, ready to pick up or pilfer through. ( yes i know i need better pics..... )
