Mr. Rogers,
Thank you for your input. It is most appreciated.
I will admit, I had a heck of a time getting my wife's two computers to share the same monitor/keyboard/mouse and printer, but I got it done, though some years ago.
I know security can be a major headache. I have one now, but not because of computer security issues, the weather must be changing.
I will look into getting our system up to snuff per your suggestions. I haven't delved into our computers since getting our latest ones some years ago.
Just as an illustration, here is what I'm running now:
I think I have another one of these stashed in the garage as my wife didn't like the way it worked when it went to sleep. (I bought two at the same time way back when)
I never let mine sleep during the day when I'm using it so it doesn't bother me.
I may have to get some RAM for the one in the garage as I think I robbed peter to pay paul when I went to 32gb.
As to back up drives, I robbed our old DVR boxes of their drives when we cut the TV cable cord and they didn't want them back. I'll look at using one for a backup of her machine.
What are your thoughts on random password generators?
My wife hates the ones that come up since they aren't memorize friendly so hers are not that strong, unfortunately.
Again, thanks for the input, it is helpful and appreciated.
