Hi All,
I've got to jump in and say something here. I've really enjoyed
reading the 'plaintiff' cries for help here and actually
employed some of the responses to my own benefit. The most
recent example of this was the 'free anti-virus software'
thread. A friend of mine just went online 2 days ago with an old
computer so I just '"forward"ed the responses to her. She has no
anti-v software yet.
I personally don't have too difficult a time finding what I need
on the Internet, so I mostly just 'lurk' here and when a
question kind of 'peaks my interest', I just wait to see the
responses. AND I frequently file the responses for future
reference if it's not a "hot item" for me at the moment. Why do
a "search" myself if someone else already has?
This is definitely a nice place.
It seems to me that people seem to ask for help here for one of
2 reasons. They either (1) don't have the time to do a search
themselves or (2) they don't have (or feel they have) the
'skills' necessary to do a competent 'search'. Both reasons are
absolutely, perfectly valid and understandable.
For the benefit of those who would like to 'improve' their
"search" skills, is there any good "search" tutorials on the
Internet suitable for "newbies"? those who feel adequate, but
would like to better their skills?
Real quickly, doing a search on "search" I got:
http://www.albany.edu/library/internet/search.html
and
http://www.albany.edu/library/internet/syntax.html
But these sites may be "a bit much" for a 'newbie'.
Any ideas?
In Health,
