i really couldn't find another place here to start this. i am really into computers, and i feel that i know nothing about computers. this board is a great help for info. i was wondering if anyone could give me websites to i can learn more about computers, i am really into networking computers, building computers, but i just love computers and i want to learn so much more than what i know now. so any help or just thoughts would be great. thanks.

peace,

WELCOME to Major Geeks -- get ready...you're going to get a bunch of advice I think.

This isn't really the answer you're looking for, I bet, and maybe you've already done this. Did you spend a chunk of time reading posts in the technical section above, especially in the "Networking" section? I find just reading the problems people have and the answers others give show me so many things (even if I don't have that issue yet or never will) They're like free mini-lectures.

 

alright well if you want to learn go to www.majorgeeks.com then go to the forums section, and read all the old posts and learn about how people solved other people's problems. This should give you a wide range of stuff. Other than that I would just read around on any articles you can find. There is so much to know about computers so its hard to find a site that has such a wide range of topics it covers. I would just basically search for like articles on specific stuff you feel like learning and then do it. Then keep going until you are a major geek. But I definitely would start by reading the old posts like pegg had mentioned. Like I have said a number of times before, the best way to learn is by example. That is how I have come to learn all that I know and i bet that is how so many others have learned about computers also. I got interested in computers about 5 years ago when I was in 4th grade and all I did was read articles on topics I found interesting. I myself find programming to be an interesting topic, so that is what I studied and read about and now I know multiple languages.

Another way that I have come to learn about computers (specifically building compters) was by taking community classes that were held at my local high school. If you live in a community that has classes like this at a local college or high school I would recommend taking them and maybe inviting some people you know along also. That way they can share part of your interests.

I hope this has helped and I know that a lot of other people are going to post like 40 threads in like 24 hours but I hope you read this over because without what I just mentioned all above, I would not be here and I wouldn't be a geek... lol
