Speaking from my own experience here Dierk, I've tried several new programs and the first place I check out for help is if there's a forum. I also go looking in forums for tech help on general OS stuff as well, so maybe I'm not that typical a user. Having said that I was introduced to forums as helpful places by my teenage son who's an online gamer where forums are much used of course. Newsgroups are a different area altogether - I started out there when I put my first PC online, and although they have their uses, I don't rate them as much as forums for helping with tech support type stuff personally. -- Cheers, Anne Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 A ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
