Updating Your Software

Occasionally, your computer or your software may be updated. For computer updates, you may have to make modifications to your program, by telling it about the new hardware just installed.

For example, if Those In Charge change printers, add a network or new monitor, give you a mouse, or change anything else on your computer, you should ask your favorite computer wizard whether any of your software needs to be alerted to the modifications. Then, let the computer wizard make those changes.

Computer software is also updated frequently. New versions come out all the time. If you fill in your registration card, you’re alerted to the new version and what it has to offer. Then, for a nominal or outrageous fee, you can order the new version. My advice: Order the update only if it has features or makes modifications you desperately need. Otherwise, if the current version is doing the job, don’t bother.

If you notice nothing different after changing hardware (all your programs run), you have no need to update anything. Just keep on (ugh) working.

If you don’t bother updating your software for several years, you may miss out on something. After a time, software developers stop supporting older versions of their programs, books about the subject go out of print, and it gets harder to find help. When that happens, you have to buy the new version.
