System Mechanic 9.5 (with a GIVEAWAY!!!)
I’m no tech-head. People sometimes mistake me for one when they see how professional this site looks. The thing is, I didn’t do it! :) Now my secret is out. LOL. You only have to have a conversation with me and you’d quickly discover how much of a tech-head I’m NOT. I tend to refer to all things technical as “thingys” and can be overheard muttering “I hate computers”.
I actually don’t “hate” computers. I love them. I just get so frustrated that I don’t know how to do more with them.
My regular laptop (not this small one that has become my “main” one temporarily) is getting old and tired. I’ve tried downloading “clean up” type programs to help it along. I think all I achieved was to clutter it up more.
So when I was offered a trial of this system mechanic from Iolo, I figured I had very little to lose in giving it a go.
I’d love to give you the techie low down on how it works and what it does, but that’s a bit beyond me.
This is all I can tell you:
1. It was so simple that even I could download and install it. And use it.
2. It has definitely sped up the speed of our computer.
I guess that’s all you need to know really, right?
Here’s a bit of info the company gave me for those who want to know more:
