[QUOTE="cazabam, post: 226867, member: 17895"] At the risk of sounding old and jaded ... :) When I first got into computers (mid- to late-80s, Spectrum 48K and BBC Model B) all I had was the machine, a manual and a few magazines. While on the one hand, I think that the internet is a great tool and certainly should help people get up to speed a lot faster than the previous generation, it is annoying when people ask questions that they could have answered in less time by either checking the online help, or just typing their question into google. If I'm feeling generous I might help out anyway, but other times if I can find the answer in the first 5 hits of a google search I'll just say nothing. [/QUOTE]
