nerds and dust

[malice]

My computer did something weird while I was away yesterday and reset my settings. Whenever I double click a folder, a new window pops up and search shows up. Thank god for How To Geek ! Silly website saved me ):

So. My dad wants to clean the dust out of my computer. We haven't cleaned it ever since we got it 3 years ago. Actually, I still have the journal entry of when I got the computer. It's funny reading it now.

We brushed most of the dust out and took the rest out with toothpicks. My father wants to use the vacuum cleaner though. I'm almost sure that that's a stupid idea. :[

EDIT: It's fixed!!!!! It doesn't hum like zomgtheworldisending anymore. It's so quiet waaaaah! So happy :'D
