Zul,
1st: Bit of trouble. FB requires JavaScript 2B enabled. I do not allow this
even with FFv3.
FB stalls.
2d: I do not mind joining your StarWarz Hardware Group, but I'd like to do
it without having to "register with FaceBook. I belong to ZERO social
engineering sites/groups since I retired. I do not even use PayPal or
EBay. My home was hidden until GoogleMaps visited and took their "street
level" pictures. The good news is that without my personal help, you will
never find the house due to several screwups in my county!
Call me old fashioned; I am still happy with our prehistoric email-based List.
Best,
Duncan

Well, for one, bandwidth would not be an issue.
2. There is picture profiles (not entirely necessary)
3. You can upload pics of computer builds or to show a pic of a windows
problem (for example) to get more input from people.
4. Managing events (i.e. a Houston Area Hardware Group meet can be much
easier)
5. Accessing a FB group is as easy as having internet access (some people
on this list still use POP3 sans webmail access)
6. Visibility (This is a great group and why not have more people join up
and participate)
7. Get with the times. (I know old habits (albiet a good one) are hard to
break, but this is the future baby)
8. Sharing Youtube videos of say computer reviews is a piece of cake and
easily visible from FB (embedded videos)
9. Sharing Links (all the sites have "link to FB" now.
So on and so on.
Anyway,
I've created a group called The Hardware Group [H]. Feel free to Join up.
I will relinquish admin privliges when required.
