I have had my new computer for a couple of weeks now and I am still
experiencing a few annoying little quirks. Maybe if I knew what I was
doing with the new operating system and Norton I could fix them. So, is
there a newsgroup like this one for home computer users? I checked out
one of the computer groups and I did not have the faintest idea what
they were talking about. Or how about one for XP and or Norton. Thanks,
JG

The easiest solution I found was to dump "Norton".

It all depends on what kind of help you're looking for.
If you're looking for help with Windows, Microsoft has a ton of newsgroups.
Start looking under microsoft.public for the particular group that best
suits your needs.
If you're looking for help with Norton, start looking under
symantec.support, then look for the group that is for your version of
Windows and particular product.
You can also get help in either
alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt
or
alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt
although most questions in those two groups are hardware questions, they may
still be able to help you.

the guys at alt.comp.hardware.overclocking usually love little challenges
even if they have nothing to do with overclocking. if nothing else someone
there could probably direct you to another newsgroup, but i doubt you will
need look further.

FWIW I thought it was so great getting my cable broadband last fall but now
true nirvana has almost been reached now that I have a wireless router on
the cable modem.

the first thing to do is go to microsoft and get all the updates for
your operating system. thereshould be a windows update link in your
start menu. then go to symantech and get updates for that. there are
plenty to get so i hope you are not in a hurry. broadband makes this a
much more pleasant experiance.
