I am the Dude, and I am dumb as hell

dudeigothadbydell · 11-04-2005, 01:30 PM

This is my hello to all,

I am probably going to bombard everyone with questions, the funny thing is I work on multimillion dollar helicopters, but I have no clue what to do on a computer. So I figure if you guys will help me with computers I'll be glad to help you with your helicopters.

Seriously, can anyone recommend any books on learning about PCs? I guess I'm looking for something that has the very basics and then can take to the advanced stuff later on.

Thanks a bunch

What aspect do you want to learn about? Really, just browsing the forums and reading the 101's are a good way to get a broad understanding.

Depends what he does with them. If he's a cleaner then he doesnt really need computer experience.

What aspect would you like to learn about? The best way to learn is read a little into one subject, and then play with windows... Get used to it.

Right click is the most powerful button on the PC. Try it everywhere...

Well, we have a few guides here that cover the CPU, Overclocking, and I though a video card one.

Cpu 101 - CPU101

http://www.karbosguide.com/ - Look at the "PC Architecture" section. It's pretty good.

Really, jsut being active on the forums, reading here, and asking loads of questions...will sharpen your PC skills
