Helping people with computers... one answer at a time.
Bob Rankin runs a technical Question and Answer site much like Ask Leo! - he's another good resource for your technical and computer questions.
Yes, I'm recommending my competition again.
The internet's a big place - as I've said before I can't answer every question I get, so I'm not afraid to endorse other resources that you might find useful.
It also helps that I've known Bob for several years and consider him a friend.
Bob's a technology writer and computer programmer who, like me, enjoys technology and the Internet and sharing what he finds. He's publisher of the Internet TOURBUS, author of several computer books, operator of Flowers Fast! and creator of the Lowfat Linux tutorial.

Ask Bob Rankin is one of the "several trusted friends and on-line resources" that I include below the Ask Leo! search results should your search here not turn up what you're looking for.
And you can bet I'm not going to send you to just anyone.
Bob covers a wide range of topics, and of course has his periodic newsletter, the Internet Tourbus, which has been around since 1995 (yikes!).
Ask Bob Rankin is another fine resource to get your questions answered.
Yes, I recommend him - even if he is "the competition". 
Article C4503 - October 24, 2010
Leo A. Notenboom has been playing with computers since he
was required to take a programming class in 1976. An 18 year career as a programmer at Microsoft soon followed.
After "retiring" in 2001, Leo started Ask Leo! in 2003 as a place for answers
to common computer and technical questions. More about Leo.
I did subscribe to Bob. (I thought I still was, but I haven't seen anything in months.) Given my preferences, I enjoy Leo better, but Bob also had useful information. Unfortunately, his newsletter became sporadic, seemingly rushed and brief, almost as if he'd lost interest in it. And now I don't get it at all. I just figured he had quit. Oh, yeah, and I periodically check my spam filters and he's not ending up there.
Posted by: Mike at October 11, 2011 8:45 AMMike, I am subscribed to Bob's tech tips (I suspect recommended by Leo), which come through almost every day. So I think that your subscription (or spam filter, etc) is playing up.
