I may sound like a loser (I maybe am!) but the biggest asset I have right now is my computer. It’s not as high tech as I want it to be, is dying for an upgrade but it has served us dutifully and rightfully for the past three years – only conking out once because the power supply flipped. But it has brought us money (thousands of it), entertainment (through movies and games), communication (mail, twitter + don’t forget Facebook!), and hobbies (scrapbooking + virtual online games). We take good care of it and aside from the TV and ref, it is the most used appliance in the house. That is why computer protection is very important for us. I update our virus protection as often as I can (it’s my responsibility now since the husband is away at work most of the time) and I employ the most efficient virus removal programs when it becomes infected, which hasn’t happened more than once thankfully.
