Middletown >> Lake County Websites & Computer Repair will have a computer workshop on Saturday on organizing and backing up files on your computer.
Students will learn how to organize, copy, and move pictures, other files and folders. The presenter, Mark Rudiger, will explore the different ways to create a backup of particular files and of a whole computer (for a system restore). He will discuss the relative merits of CD backups, flash drives, external hard drives and “the Cloud.”
“I have had many customers come into the shop with a computer whose hard drive has failed,” Rudiger said. “Many have made no backups. These customers often lose all their pictures and other important files. It’s so hard telling them that’s what happened. It is really important to back up your computer regularly.”
Rudiger is owner of Lake County Websites & Computer Repair in downtown Middletown and has more than 20 years of experience installing, trouble-shooting and working with computers.
People with laptops may bring them along and connect to the high-speed Internet; however, a computer is not necessary. Rudiger’s laptop screen will be projected on a 120-inch screen. The workshop will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. at 15642 Armstrong St. in Middletown in the Jazzercise Center (two blocks behind the post office).
The workshop has a $15 admission fee. Sign up at www.markrudiger.com/workshop. For more information or to reserve a spot, call Rudiger at 987-1923 or email web@lakecountywebsites.com. There will be a limited number of backup drives available for purchase at the workshop.
