[Hidden-tech] PC technician recommendations?

[Kiernan G-S]

One has to remember that there is a lot of value in not having to reinstall
all your programs, etc.    Starting over can be great, it can also be a huge
problem for some people. It really depends on the computers primary usage,
who is using it, and what is installed.
