We're presuming that you already know the absolute basics of operating your computer, including how to set up folders, etc. 

However, if you do have some "newbie" queries along the way, there's a brand new Chatroom/Q&A here!

  You'll find a lot of links and banners on this site.  They'll take you to free useful resources and to products you may consider investing in.  Using those links is easy... it's a simple click to go to that new area or site.  Same with the banners... just click.  All links open in a new page.  Simply close them when you're done and you're right back at the page you started with.

I have a favor to ask.  We've lost count of the links on this site... it's huge!  And it's going to get bigger.  We've double checked everything but sometimes the gremlins take over.  If you find a link that doesn't work, would you mind going to the Help Desk button at the bottom of the page you're on, and letting us know?  All we need is the title of the page and the paragraph that the link that doesn't work, is in?  Thank you.
