This page contains all kinds of computer related links. It was originally designed to mark the links describing all the tips and tricks necessary to keep Windows95 up and running. Those are still here, along with more genereal Windows help (since I still run Windows at home; I'm up to ME now). The top section, however, is dedicated to Linux. I am currently using Mandrake 7.2 for my research workstation, as I need the stability (i.e. I can't live with a blue screen of death stopping my work). I'm learning a lot and our IT guys even let me manage my own system. There are also links to software and hardware companies with which I've dealt and been quite happy.

Sun StarOffice -
an office suit for Linux (it's OK but I'll go back to WordPerfect when WP2000
comes out for Linux)
Microsoft
Microsoft Support - this
is the fourth URL they've used for searching through thier technical
support pages (I really wish they'd stop changing all their links!)
Windows Annoyances - a great site
that became a book published by O'Reilly supporting Win95 and Win98 (I'm
waiting to see the WinME stuff...)
Frank Condron's World O'
Windows
Kim Komando's Komputer Klinic - she know's
her stuff, but the site is not well orgnaized for someone seeking specific information
and seems more focused on advertising her weekly syndicated radio call-in show
Corel makers of the wonderful
WordPerfect office package suite (it beats MS-Office hands down)
Note: this site sucks! There are two instantaneous
redirects making the "back" button useless except to keep
bouncing you back to their site. Come on people, either don't keep
changing your links, or learn to program your html friendlier!

I've used their video cards in the past (now, if only they would distribute
Linux drivers with all their newest cards)
Diamond Multimedia - I've
used their video cards too; there seems to be more Linux support for them
even if they don't distribute Linux drivers themselves!
