Or more precisely, a forum for threads that don’t fit in any forum. ---

Grousser, you know what? I think that some other forums have much better computer techs sometimes. Like if you have a Dell computer you’d use the forum at [Dell.com](http://Dell.com) Most computer questions can be answered by: read the manual read the support center hit F1 & read the instructions on the program your computer is over heating ---

Yes, but happens that here there are many people who _knows_ the answer, for _any_ kind of generic or brand computer, and who _is willing_ to solve the problems for all doper friends, either software or hardware issues. It’s kind of difficult being wandering around in so many message boards in the oceans of the internet. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/suggestion-for-a-new-forum/209286.md?page=1)
