About Computing.Net

Introduction

Founded in February of 1996, Computing.Net was built on the idea that no one technical support expert knows as much about solutions to problems as does the entire population of IT professionals. By using a forum based message system, Computing.Net allows its users to ask, in essence, hundreds of technical support experts about their problem.

A forum system allows a much more tight knit community than does a newsgroup. Answers to questions are much clearer and easier to find through Computing.Net's forum when compared to newsgroup technical support discussions. As opposed to having a user e-mail a technical support expert or chat with one directly, Computing.Net's forums allow previously answered questions to be found instantly, saving the user and the support professional time. The forum system that Computing.Net uses has been rated as the best support forum for PC and Windows related issues by PC World magazine.

Computing.Net, however, is not only about forums. While the technical support forums are the backbone of Computing.Net, it also has many other forms of technical support, such as Howtos and instructions for novices. By combining all of these services, Computing.Net contains all the information that a user is likely to need to receive technical support for his or her computer related problem.
