Does anyone know of any other sights tfor newbies?

Does anyone know of any other sights that have message/help boards regarding
computer problems for the ignorant novice such as myself?:-) I would be
interested in finding something akin to "computer help for dummies" with
message boards, etc. Thanks.

Grand Canyon is a beautiful sight in the fall.

As long as no one minds the stupid questions I guess I'll keep asking away!

Start by stopping the use of the web interface. If this is your preferred
means of getting support, you will be better served by using a newsreader.
This is a short write-up on how to use one:
http://rickrogers.org/setupoe.htm

Also, I have noticed that you asked this same question in a multitude of
groups. That is frowned upon as many of us frequent a number of them and
will see the same question repeatedly asked. One thing you can do with a
newsreader is cross-post to appropriate groups so that this does not happen
(crossposting a question isn't really necessary all that often, your
questions are often best sent only to the most appropriate group).

Please feel free to add the msnews server to your newsreader and make full
use of the free support offered here.
