All my life I've been asked computer questions. Its probably because
I've used computers my whole life, practically. Or maybe its because
I fit so perfectly into that little Matthew Broderick, War Games,
computer nerd type stereotype. Who knows. But I get asked a lot of
questions. Questions about what to buy, questions about how to use
particular software, and questions about what is going to happen to
this or that technology. Looking back at all my answers, I've come to
the conclusion that being an authority of computer knowledge is a
dangerous thing, i.e., I've not always been right! But, fortunately, I
haven't been that wrong either. Some people have benefited from my
knowledge, and that's great. The beauty of knowledge is that it is an
inexhaustible resource. I can give you as much of it as you want, and
still retain all of it for myself. So I've designed the web space to
give you a sample of the benefits of my computer experience. You see,
since 1993, I've made my living by accumulating and selling knowledge.
It is my job to find answers to computer questions. My goal is to
become a resource for novice computer users. Yes, novices. So if you
already know everything about computers, bug-off! -- this site is not
for you. I don't need nerds hogging up all my bandwidth. If you are a
novice and looking for a little information, read on. It may not
always be useful, but hopefully it will give you insight into this
strange cyberworld of computers and technology.
The opinions posted on this web site are that of Mark Bursic and Core
Consulting. And they are just that, opinions. ....etc.
