Personal Computer Use Profile

I am constantly on the computer at work. We use Microsoft Outlook for our email system. I probably get fifty emails a day. I also work a lot in Microsoft Excel and Word. We use Excel spread sheets for reports and we use Word to create mail merges to generate letters to send out to customers. We use a computer system that we call Newstar Enterprise in which we basically input all kinds of information into it and it generates certain corporate reports. We used to use SAP but within the last year or two we converted to the Newstar System.

At home I use my computer for school and for social networking. Usually when I get on the computer I will go check my Yahoo account and then log on to Facebook. I also use my computer to download music through Itunes. I use my computer to transfer the music to my Iphone. I also use my Iphone to check my work/personal emails. I can also download music from my phone.

I don't know very much about my computer hardware or software. I do not think I know how to clean up my computer if I were to get a virus. I could probably figure it out but it would take some time. I do not know how to add more RAM to my computer. Again if I really wanted to I could figure it out but as of now I do not have any knowledge of that.
