[Trainer-Talk] laptop storage advice

[Barbara Loos]

Sarah, about a year ago, I had what sounds like a similar problem to the one you are describing. It turned out that there was some kind of virus, I believe, that was replicating files over time, meaning a few years. I don’t remember exactly what the person who discovered it did remotely to make that stop happening, but it took him a while to do it.

I believe he was using JAWS Tandem initially, but may have used another program to do the repair. Since then, though, I have not had that problem. 

I wish I understood more of the technical aspect of this, but wanted to offer it as a potential avenue for you to try with someone who has the expertise.

>   Good morning. My laptop does not have much on it, or so I thought. The other day, Jaws notified me that the disc was full. My son helped me do a disc cleanup, but I still only have a gig left. I only use the laptop for my job as a reporter and to write novels. I've backed the files up to a flash drive. Is there anything else I can do until I can buy a laptop with more storage? Could I write some things using my focus 14 blue since it has an SD card slot? Thank you.

> Find out your laptop brand & model then search for a 2.5" dvd drive caddy.
> You can mount something like a 1tb 2.5" hard drive in the caddy then slide
