每天读一篇英语小故事：The Slow Computer (2)
“I can’t take this anymore!” Victor screamed. He closed the Worddocument—no, thank you, Word, he did not want to save it. Two minutes later, the
document actually closed. Victor clicked on Start so he could click on Turn Off
Computer. Five minutes later, his computer finally shut down.
Fuming, Victor unplugged it and took it to PC Club. “Why is this thing so
slow?” he asked Matt, the tech guy. Matt plugged it in. After a while, the
desktop icons finally appeared. Matt typed in several commands at blinding
speed.
“Look at this,” he said. “You have one backup program that is using up 90
percent of your processor. Not to mention that you have a slow processor. Your
processor is like the engine of your car. You don't want a car with a
two-cylinder engine; you want eight cylinders, right? Plus, you’ve got too many
icons on your desktop. Put all the icons into folders. Pause that backup
program. Reduce the number of programs that are active at Start-Up. That should
speed things up a bit.”
“Can't I just install an 'eight cylinder' processor?” Victor asked
innocently.
“No way,” Matt chuckled. “I hear that question a lot, but I can’t help you.
If you want a new processor, you’ve got to buy a whole new laptop.”
