These resources roughly complement the Help Documents contained in the right frame.

Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups Same as above, but is more geared towards Product Support.

Relax, Read ... non tech fun
I like to use Google Book Search sometimes: what a great offering
this digitized 'library' is. Certain books are open to the public. Do an
advanced search for full view only, and a plethora of public domain books show,
eg:
Anthem (AynRand), 1953: "We, Equality 7-2521, were not happy in those years
...It was not that the learning was too hard for us. It was that the learning
was too easy. This is a great sin, to be born with a head which is too quick. It
is not good to be different from our brothers, but it is evil to be superior to
them. The Teachers told us so...
"New England Legends & Folk Lore : Neat book. I visited Block Island, off the coast of RI (where I grew up) in 2007, and on page 403 is a grim, but compelling, legend about the island of New Shoreham.

This is Riguy's Technology Support pages.
These documents have been created as a result of work on a home SOHO LAN. I am hosting from
a home office via Windows IIS
7.0 on a Windows 2008 Server providing internal (.local) and external (.com)
name resolution, web services (i.e. FTP, E-mail), and some internal TCP-IP
services too (i.e. DHCP, DNS, etc.). Besides the Windows 2008 Server, there is
the latest Exchange Server (2007) for "Riguy" e-mail. I have an Apple iBook
running alongside several Windows Vista PCs. I try to document as much as
possible using them all.
The purpose is threefold:
1. to provide some hopefully useful tips to the outside world.
2. to document tech-related solutions so I can review in the future.
3. to practice, have some fun, and document what I practice along the way.
