Here is my Realtor Laptop Installation Guide hot off the press from the Queen of Crash in Southern Maryland. Yep, I am the self annointed Queen of Crash in Southern Maryland. Lapops need to fear me. Hard drives, too. I can detonate any and all laptops and hard drives effortlessly. On the spot. I kid you not.
What is a Realtor Laptop Installation Guide from the Queen of Crash in Southern Maryland? I am setting up a new laptop this weekend so I am sharing my Guideline. This is the order I go about it. And since IT means not one, not two, not three, and yes four times I have to do this over the next six weeks, I figured I would share my action list. Truly, I will have it memorized. One hard drive died, one got overloaded and is going down for the count as we speak, one has rapidly increasing error messages, and the other one is TRUE BLUE NEW. Four laptop loads in six weeks. Well at least this Spring I dare all four to go down again.
But if any Realtor could rise to the occasion, it would be me. They say you are only given as much as you can handle. I love tech gadgets and tech info and tech everything. But this is over the top even for this Golden Gal.
