Security Tip
Delete Files Effectively
Depending upon your operating system and your settings, when you delete a file, that file may be transferred to your trash or recycle bin. This "holding area" essentially protects you from yourself by allowing easy restoration if you accidentally delete a file. Be advised that an unauthorized person will also be able to retrieve it. To prevent this cyber dumpster diving, empty the trash or recycle bin on a regular basis to ensure that deleted information stays deleted.
IT Tip
When in your web browser, tap the space bar once to scroll down a full screen. Press the space bar and shift key to scroll back up a screen.
IT Sustainability Tip
Get the most... work on the least.
Working on too many programs while on the battery is a surefire power drain. Keep use of graphic-intensive applications to a minimum. Working on a spreadsheet consumes much less power than playing your favorite game. To increase the life of the battery, open just one or two programs concurrently.
