It’s spring, at least, almost.  While it may be hard to believe that the Easter Bunny will be hopping down the lane anytime soon as most of us are still shoveling out from a brutal winter, it is true.  Spring begins this month!  For some of us, spring goes beyond bunnies and green grass and lends itself towards a time of renewal and cleaning.  If this is you, put down your Clorox for a moment and let’s look at cleaning something many of us don’t think about: your computer’s hard drive.  Cleaning out your hard drive can have many benefits, the least of which can be improving performance.
