emailed me with a link to this thread...I hadn't been into this particular forum for a week or better and wouldn't have seen it any too soon.
The Moderators here all do great work and put forth effort above and beyond the call of duty....and as a Moderator/member who still asks for help when I have thrust that computer sword into my foot and am running in circles, I know positively where to go to get the answers I need to get the sword out with minimal damages.
I just ran into a situation this past week with a neighbor's computer and posted in the Computer Help forum to get the info I needed about an old DOS command that I could remember the command but not what would appear on screen once issued. Got the problem resolved finally with a format and discovered other issues relating to hardware that I didn't expect but got it up and running without having to holler for help again.
I NEVER call any local repair shops here.....if the forum members don't have the answer in CNET, NOBODY will have the right ones. The wealth of knowledge and information here is astounding....and even if I wasn't a Moderator, I would still be hanging around and slurping up the advice like a huge sponge.
Thanks to the members in this thread who have given me kudos......the thing they don't seem to acknowledge is that in order for the Mods and other members to help them, THEY have given over their trust that we will do no harm, and THEY do all the work with the instructions we lay out. So kudos to the members........every day.
