Computer cases should come with a small pouch attached to inside
cover.
The mobo should come with a QR code in the box so you can put it in
the pouch.
QR codes should also come with hard drives, expansion cards, CD
burners, CPUs ect.
Need a manual.............Pull out the QR code and scan it.
External devices. QR code in the box with an adhesive label.
Reminds me of Cyril Kornbluth's "Marching Morons" where the average IQ of
society drops, precisely because people aren't using their minds, and so
most of the population has a low IQ, leaving a relative handful to do all
the real work.
Time was, the internet was about ideas, people talking to people they
didnt' know. Now it's a utility, people using it the same way they used
to use phones, and expecting the rest of the world to dumb down to their
level.
You could do a websearch. Even better, the minute you bring home an item,
do taht search, and download pertinent information. Save it in a safe
spot, a USB flash drive, with similar things. Scan the bill and other
documents that come with the unit (if that information isn't
downloadable), keep notes of when you do routine maintenance and when you
had to do any repairs. Keep some reviews if you want to gloat. It really
is a whole lot easier than keeping track of paper files, so you will keep
it up to date.
It even works fine with used equipment, though the more recent it is the
more likely the documentation is online. I've brought back endless stuff
and been able to find information about it, and this is hardly recent
equipment. And it really isn't hard to do a websearch, unless you've
mindlessly dumbed yourself down so you need someone else to always do the
work.
