NEW FORUM SUGGESTION: Computer help and support
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 05:20 PM by Fighting Irish
Since so many people post in the lounge when they have computer/software problems, how 'bout a group dedicated to it? Got a computer problem? Got a suggestion? Want to recommend your favorite programs? Show your support here.

Mission statement:

The Computer Help and Support Group provides a forum to seek and dispense advice and questions regarding computer and software problems and issues. It is also a place for recommending programs and systems. Everyone is invited to ask questions, seek help, and provide advice and answers.

6. That would pretty much go without saying, since 98% of the
questions are from Windows users :)

16. I like it!
I've asked questions several time and I'm sure I would ask (and even answer) more if there was a special forum for it. Thanks!

19. polls are closed,
but I vote anyway. Let Liebold count me or not, I don't care.

Great idea. Can computer illiterates ask really pathetic questions and not get laughed at?

running Windows, right? :)

26. Seems like it might be counterproductive IMO.
Only people who needed help would go there and people who actually could help would not have much reason to go their unless they had a benevolent nature. So, the help seekers would come back to the lounge and repost when their questions would go unanswered.
