How it works ......suggestion

Jun 10, 2007 4:16AM PDT

I'd like to suggest that a "How it works" application be added to the forums feature on Cnet. This is how it would work.......Say the topic is Virtual Memory at the top or bottom of the page a link would be created that would provide basic and advance information about computer hardware and software. It would provide How it works information on say, hard drives, operating systems, buses, boots, all of it. This basic information would help user grasp the basics and get everyone on the same page. Even advanced users need a refresher now and again. There are sites out there that already do this, you might partner with them instead of reinventing the wheel. For what its worth.

But of course if everyone knew what they were talking about there wouldn't be much need of a forum would there?
