Southwest Florida PC User Group Bulletin Board

If the quantity of Good Boot e-mail I’ve received of late concerning Windows 7 is any indication, there’s a definite need for a source of unbiased advice and recommendations.

And there is a source.

For information on Windows 7 or for that matter any computer, computing or digital photography topic, it’s the Southwest Florida PC User Group “free” community bulletin board.

Perhaps our bulletin board can best be described as a convenient way for a subscriber to obtain expeditious assistance and advice on any appropriate computer or digital photography question or problem from our User Group professional consulting technicians and knowledgeable subscribers

It works like this.

When you subscribe to our bulletin board, you're authorized to post via an e-mail any computer or digital photography question. All current bulletin board subscribers receive your posting. Because of the number of subscribers and because our consulting technicians review all posts, you’re assured of an expeditious, courteous response regardless of how basic it may be.

Our bulletin board also provides expeditious virus, Spyware and malware alerts, a heads- up when a local retailer has an exceptional hardware or software offer and general computer and digital photograph tips.

There's no limitation on what computer or digital photography subjects may be presented on the bulletin board. In fact
I’ve been told by many the bulletin board can be a learning experience.

Is the bulletin board for everyone?

In the past some novices have complained that because they received every e-mail asking a question and every e-mail answering that question, they became disenchanted with the quantity of e-mail they received.

It’s true. A successful bulletin board will generate a significant number of e-mails each day. But in my opinion the value of having a way to expeditiously receive assistance and garner useful information far outweighs having to delete a few more than usual e-mails.

But if you do object to the number e-mails generated by our bulletin board, know we provide a user-friendly way to subscribe, ask a question and then unsubscribe when your question has been satisfactory answered.

All postings are monitored by our User Group moderators before they’re sent to subscribers to ensure they're appropriate, do not include spam and are not virus, spyware or malware infected.

To subscribe go to: www.swfpcug.org, click on Bulletin Board and follow the directions. Or if you have a specific question about the bulletin board you’re welcome to contact Brian Barnes at computermetutor@comcast.net.

Here’s wishing you a Good Boot.
