How can you format a computer to make it like it was when brand new?
A format will erase EVERYTHING, so if you have an external hard drive, backup everything in there. It will also erase your operating system as well. If you reformat, your computer won't have an OS to boot from.
If your computer is manufactured one like DELL/Compaq/HP/Gateway, your computer may have come with a system restore disk that will do the reformat for you and install everything exactly as it was when you brought it home. If it doesn't come with this disc, many times you can buy it from the manufacturer. If your computer is an Acer, there is an option using Acer eRecovery Service to restore it to the Factory Defaults. Your Acer may also have come with a recovery disk, which you can restore using using the eRecovery Service.
1. Insert your manufacturer restore disk or Operating System disk
2. When you initially turn on the computer enter the boot menu, change the boot sequence to have the CD-ROM boot first rather than the Hard Drive and follow the instructions.
You can use programs such as Active@ KillDisk found at killdisk.com These programs are available in case you don't have an Operating System disk available to you or you are throwing your hard drive away and don't want your data out there possibly in the wrong hands. Boot n Nuke is another piece of free software that can format and erase your hard drive over and over again.
1.Go to dban.org 2.Click "Download" 3.Click "for CD and DVD media" 4.Burn the downloaded file to CD/DVD with an ISO burning software like infrarecorder which is free to download at infrarecorder.org. 5.Insert the disc and reboot the machine. 6.If your PC is set to boot from the CD/DVD drive first, it should boot dban. If not press F8 or F12 then select DVD drive. 7.Your PC should load the disc and then follow the instructions on the screen. Formatting may take some time but it is well worth it because it erases data a few times to a standard where no data is recoverable.

What port lets you put images from your camara to your computer?
Most digital cameras are equipped to connect directly to a USB port although most of them also use some type of solid state memory card or stick to store digital images. The memory can be removed from the camera and inserted into an appropriate card reader - but the exact type of reader depends on the type of card. Examples of removable camera memory include: PCMCIA, CF-I, CF-II, SM / SMC, MS, MSD, MSPD, MSPDX, M2, MMC ,RS-MMC, MMCmicro, SD, SxS, UFS, miniSD, microSD, xD ,iStick, SFM, µcard, and NT NT+. Some of these can be read by the same card reader, but no card reader can handle all of them unless it has multiple slots to accommodate all the different form factors and pin setups.
In short, yes. Anything that you find fun and/or entertaining can become addictive.

How can I make a 3 megabyte photo file smaller?
Changing the format to JPEG should cure the problem. Most likely your original photo will already be in .jpg format. In the photo management software, free ones or even the ones built in the operating system of the computer you can do few things to reduce file size of the photo. You can either resize the image or use more compression. Resize will reduce size of the image (number of pixels will reduce) and compression will reduce overall quality of the image. When you use save as .jpg most software will allow you to select the compression level you want to save the image with. - Neeraj Sharma

Why should an organisation use a computer system?
If you mean a business or organization similar to a business there are several advantages to using computers. Paperwork takes up incredible amounts of room whereas data takes up only the digital space on a hard drive. Also, if you have a great deal of client information, it can be searched in seconds as opposed to minutes or even hours going through files by hand. Computers can also have applications that train newcomers to an organization instead of placing a resource drain on the company by having employees that have to divert their own time and effectiveness to teaching someone.
On the other hand, they can be expensive to maintain properly and there's always the threat of a virus that can wipe your whole database. This can be averted with enough caution though, so it's not that great of a worry. -Jonathan C. Holcomb
