OOPS! I just goofed up and used the same title of one of my earlier reviews. Guess the previous one is gone forever.boo hoo!
Here we go again!
Just read a few reviews on useful websites and thought why not add my own piece. I have complied a list of very useful web sites that are meant not only for the professionals but also for the gamers, home owners and rest of the breed.
The main categories are:
Product reviews, IT news, editorial columns, how-to guides, etc.: ==========================================
https://CNET.COM -> CNET is one of the best online resources for product reviews and pricing information.
https:// PLANETHARDWARE.COM -> Although this site is geared more toward gamers, it contains a lot of useful information on the latest PC hardware.
https://HARDWARECENTRAL.COM -> This site offers hardware information, including reviews, editorials, buying guides, and more.
https://ZDNET.COM -> A great place for technology news, product reviews, IT commentary, and more. This site offers anything and everything for the IT professional.
Programming, Web development, scripts, etc. ============================
https://4GUYSFROMROLLA.COM -> If you’re looking for the most current information on ASP, this one is for you.
https://HOTSCRIPTS.COM -> This site is geared toward Web masters and programmers. It compiles Web programming-related information on topics such as ASP, C, Java, XML, PHP, and Perl.
Downloads, utilities, drivers, games, etc.
========================
DOWNLOAD.CNET.COM -> This handy site from CNET offers access to more than 20, 000 Windows, Macintosh, DOS, Linux, Palm OS, Windows CE, and BeOS software downloads.
https://DRIVERZONE.COM -> Go here to find drivers for everything from printers and scanners to video cards and modems.
https://MOOCHERS.COM -> Moochers.com has tons of software and freeware for Windows and Linux. You’ll find applications, tools, utilities, fonts, icons, etc.
https://WINDRIVERS.COM -> Go here to locate hard-to-find drivers.
GAMES.YAHOO.COM -> One of the best for online gaming. Needs downloading the game applet.
https://POGO.COM -> Pretty good but page loads are a bit slow. Applet download only for the duration you are logged in.
Microsoft support
===========
SEARCH.SUPPORT.MICROSOFT.COM/KB/C.ASP -> This is the best place to start when troubleshooting a Microsoft product, in fact make this your home page if you know what I mean.
As I write this, all these links are still active(I have checked them out today), but no guarantees on what will happen tomorrow, the dynamics are too complex to fathom. Make the best use of these sites and give me a feedback.will help me update my database.
PS: it’s always good to scan all files that you download, irrespective of the site you are downloading from, so please update your Antivirus and then . blast off into the net!
Happy coding, gaming, surfing and downloading.
