Resources for computing regardless of geek orientation

Computers have invaded our lives in many of the same ways as the telephone or television. And yet, neither of these require such a depth of knowledge and effort to use on a daily basis, as a computer. I've spent many holidays immersed in computing projects to help repair, install or modify a family member's computer.

Friends have fed me dinner to work on their machines or home wireless networks rather than try to maintain knowledge of a subject that changes so frequently. Plus, for most, computers are tools not objects of endless fascination. Thank goodness for the geeks!

Hopefully, the links at the left will help both the geek and non-geek alike with computing issues I regularly run into both at home and in the workplace. I've attempted to sort computing into two fundamental groups: hardware and software. Hardware covers any physical device that might be a part of or connected to a computer whereas software pertains, in this case, to any operating system, programming language, or application.
