redcirceThis might be sort of an odd request, but do any of your know of any comms on DW aimed at computer tech geeks that are somewhere between newbies and experts? (or know of any other good resources, DW or not!)
I am the only one of my friends that "knows computer stuff" which means I get asked about (and can fix) basic problems, but since I'm mostly self taught I don't really know where to go when I have issues myself. And I feel bad being one of those people registering for a random website just so I can post to ask someone to "fix" my computer- I'd actually like to learn how to fix/discuss things and would feel less intimidated if I was talking to other novices. Anyone have any suggestions?
Post prompted by: right now I'm having trouble with one of the harddrives in a self build computer. Although I know enough to run tests on the drive, I don't know enough to actually interpret the test results, and most of the resources I'm googling seem to be aimed at those who do actually know more...
