Registry Cleaners: Better Than Replacing a Computer

I can still remember the first computer I ever got.  It was a high school graduation gift and was meant to get me through  college.  Of course I was an Art major and barely knew how to turn my laptop on.  Soon it was running so poorly that  it was a struggle to finish my work.  Just when I was ready to get a job so I could replace it, I read a few reviews for registry cleaners.  They sounded like they could fix my issues, so I bought and ran one of them.  Sure enough, my laptop was soon humming along, like new.  Not too bad for non-technical artist.
