Maybe it was my willingness to help my floor mates hook up2 puters, but suddenly everyone on my floor was turning to me for puter problems. Rarely a day passed by without someone asking me to install some new piece of software, to get their printer up and running again, or teach them how to use some new program.

I was just your puter user who sometimes knew the bination of buttons to help retrieve5 a “ lost” paper. Then, one day after helping a friend squeeze6 far more programs than we probably should have onto puter, the answer hit me: I understand the three fundamental rules for dealing puters. Understand these rules and you too can have dozens of people convinced that you are THE source puter knowledge.
Rule 1. Save7 It! puters, puter programs decide to shut down8 or otherwise fail you, it is almost always when you're on page 29 of your 30-page research9 paper. If you've been saving all along, you've
lost half a page, maybe a page, both of which are a lot easier to recreate10 from memory than the 29 pages you would have lost if y
