Moving your Computer Tips
To begin with, moving conditions can be harsh when it comes to fragile equipment like computers. Only careful packing spells safety. Before moving your computer, always plan your packing well ahead of the moving schedule as last minute rushing may irreparably damage your computer. You can pack it yourself, or use professional packing services provided by most moving companies. Self-packing can be rewarding and economical, although time-consuming.
For moving your computer the best packing option is the carton it came in. This carton has been specially designed to cushion your computer in transit. It has bubble wrap and Styrofoam blocks cut to fit your machine and save it from jerking. If you’ve thrown it away, you may get similar cartons from any moving company.
While moving your computer, however, no packing assures absolute safety. Therefore, (a) take out insurance that covers maximum damage and (b) take a full hard disc backup of all data in your computer on CD-ROMs/DVDs and flash/pen drives. Remember, insurance can’t compensate for lost data.
Remember to lock down peripherals like scanners and printers before packing if they have this facility. Make sure that monitor screens are not in contact with anything that may scratch them, and that keyboards are not under any pressure.
