Thank you for visiting scratchie.net

The age of computers and the internet has provided us with an ideal tool for all types of research, information storage, information retrieval, and communication.

In the last 20 years or so, computers have figuratively shrunk the world and placed a wealth of information at our fingertips, available all day, every day.

But with computer use and ownership also comes responsibility. Computers need care and maintenance, just like any other machine. Without this maintenance, a computer will eventually become more of a hinderance than a helpful tool.

We don't claim to have all the answers, but we hope that this website provides you with some helpful information about care and maintenance of your computer's hardware, maintenance of your data, and internet and computer safety and etiquette.
