Clean Out Your Computer Day
Have you been putting off cleaning out those old files on your desktop? Well, today is the day you should do it, because it is Clean Out Your Computer Day.
Started in 2000 by the Institute of Business Technology, the day falls on the second Monday in February.
A similar holiday called National Clean Your Virtual Desktop Day is celebrated in October.
How to Celebrate
- Backup your computer, including all your files, documents, and pictures.
- Clean out your desktop. Delete or archive files that you have no use of or haven’t used in several months.
- Organize your folders, files and bookmarks.
- Uninstall all the programs you no longer used.
Did You Know…
…that the Perottina was the world’s first commercially marketed desktop? Launched in 1964, the computer was named after its inventor Pier Giorgio Perotto.

One day, my physician father treated himself to a plate of raw oysters and offered to share them with me. Just as I was about to dig in, he picked up an oyster, examined it, and commented,
“They remind me of infected tonsils.”And that’s the story of how he ended up eating the entire plate of oysters himself.

My six-year-old loved his pet fish. He watched and fed it faithfully, morning and night. But one day while he was in school, his fish died, so I flushed it down the toilet. I told him when he got home, and he was inconsolable. Nothing I said helped.
After a while, I asked, “Why are you crying so much?”
Arching his back, he shouted, “I wanted to flush!”

Two regulars are sitting at a bar when one of them casually points to a couple of drunks across from them.
“That’s us in ten years,” he says.
His friend takes a sip from his beer, sets it down on the bar, turns to his friend, and slurs, “That’s a mirror.”

I was working from home, interviewing a famous neurologist for an article, when my three-year-old announced she had to go potty and waddled into the bathroom.
After some loud moans, she yelled, “I did it, Mom! I pooped in the toilet! I pooped on the floor too! But I’ll clean it! Oh, I stepped in it!”
There was an uncomfortable silence as I realized the doctor had heard every word. “Ha ha,” I laughed nervously. “Do you have kids?”
“No,” he said, “and I never will.”
