ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

One of the PC’s here in the office just went from having over 400MB free on the C: drive to 4MB free in a matter of a few minutes. Apparently, using the graphics software to create a .pdf out of scanned documents left behind a handful of 99MB temp files, not to mention the 25MB final .pdf files. I got rid of those and then did some quick user training in how to scan something in different ways than a bitmap, and use the PDF Writer print driver to make .pdf files out of them. 50KB files work a whole lot better than 25MB ones!

 

User training, the job that’s never finished! 🙂

  • Bored meetings

    Next week we’re having a Board meeting. Normally, we have our Board meetings onsite, which I hate. I always end up having to help one Board member or other check their email using their laptop, and our network, and then making sure I reset all their network settings before they leave and can never get…
