Hello David, you are more than welcome. As you can see from the delay in my response I have a very busy professional job, so I'm not always able to get to questions as quickly as I would like. We don't allow company advertising on the forum, but I have no problem with the odd mention of external sites if they are of benefit to everyone on SFN.

What skills do you specialize in? Do you use multiple OSes like OSX, Unix/BSD, Linux and Windows? Do you do much with home/soho networking technologies?

They will all be very helpful.

Regards

Nick

Hello Nick.  I have just joined SFN as I am tired of some of the other forum opportunities.  I am an IT Professional and have a business in France providing PC hardware and software support to mainly the English-speaking population in my area.  On the other forum, everytime I responded to somebody's problem, I was advertising!  A friend recommended I join SFN so here I am.  I can see below you have a huge depth of knowledge yourself.  However, perhaps I can help you also in this group.  If I can help people with their PC problems then I am happy to do so.  Clearly this works both ways in that I see, for example, Teresa below who is a Word guru.  I am sure there will be times I will ask her "how do I ...?" as I can fix the boxes - making Word sing is a different proposition!  All the best, David

Here are five great open source tools that you can use on Windows as well as Linux or Mac OSX. It just shows the flexibility of the modern open source community.

lol Jo, that is good news that you are enjoying it. All the time spent learning the new system is worth it, and once it all fits into place, you'll wonder why you never started sooner.

Lets us know if you need any help.

Cheers

Nick

I just want to say thanks for the advice about using ubuntu. I will probably never want to see sunlight again but am really loving this new land of geek!

That's good news Jacqueline. With testdisk you are best to extract the zip file into a directory in your home directory, rather than the desktop, it will make it easier to find.

Cheers

yes, it's "testdisk" and a Zip file.  I extracted it to my desktop and on my desktop shown as a yellow folder and when I double click there's nothing I can click further other than things on "text document"

I was a loyal user of AVG (more than 10 years). I only started using MSE since last June when my laptop was so unstable and kept crashing every few minutes.  A friend fixed it using "log me in" and advised me to use MSE instead of AVG. Today, the warning of malicious virus wasn't there when I turned on the computer so hopefully  the "system restore" remedied it along with MSE.  Crossing my fingers ;)

Hi Paul,

I've deleted some of your posts as we don't allow commercial self promotion on SFN. If I am mistaken and you have no commercial interest with the sites you provide links to then please contact me directly.

Kind regards

James
