Vanity: New FR Ping List "TechSupport"
2006-04-24 | N3WBI3

Posted on 04/24/2006 7:30:11 PM PDT by N3WBI3

Today a new ping list is starting on FreeRepublic, called TechSupport it will be a place for Freepers to get some help on problems that ight arise on their computers.

Why a list for this:

Some of the freepers who run or are involved in technical ping list find themselves with a good deal of mail from people asing about problems that many freepers might be able to and have more time to help with.

I have spoken to a few people who either run list or are involved on them and they fell this would accomplish three things. Firstly and most importantly get quick and responsive help to freepers who might. Secondly it will take the load off of any individual freeper from being a problem solver when they might have other things to do. Finally it will be a good place for non technical people who dont need help to educate themselves a bit more on how computers work.

Who Should Be on The List:

1) People who have expertise in any area of computing that are willing to lend a hand to help solve problems. Any area of computing will be a welcome addition to the list.

2) People who want to leanr by watching others work through problems.

How do I use The List:

To start with the list will be hosted Here (http://freerepublic.com/~n3wbi3/). In the section called TechSupport Ping copy the members of the list. Post a new message to the General/Chat section addressed to the members. This list is maintained be N3WBI3 but unlike other ping list any one (with a technical question) is free to post to the members.

Will you still ping the Tech list or is this a different list altogether?

I love keeping up-to-date with the news on the Tech Ping list. I can help out too.

One thing I would add is that TechSupport threads are not the place for OS Wars.

Don't offer your negative or positive opinion of Macs, or Linux, or Windows.. just attempt to solve our fellow Freeper's problem.


Well said, and it bears repeating again and again until people get the idea. Even then there will always be those who don't get the word and will take the opportunity to pimp their favorite software by letting everyone know that if the person experiencing the problem would only switch to whatever it is they are pimping then they wouldn't have the problem they are currently facing.

Add me to the list. I am a 20+ year network engineering veteran with my MCSE, CCNP, CCA, Wireless Certification and so on and so on and so on ad nauseum ..... I do it for a living and am forever being hammered by folks with problems sometimes even in my sleep, so I'm not always in the mood for charity work, but I'll jump in every once in awhile.
