First ‘Quik Reco’ Of The Year
Folks, 2011 is starting off a busy year, and I only have time – at the moment – to bring you a quick recommendation for a read I found to be ‘most excellent’. This article tells a “tech support” story that I found delightful (I am a tech, after all) and I believe you will not only enjoy it too but, maybe pick up a pointer or two. (My apologies to all grammarians out there.)
Please see, Story of the F11 Computer Fix
“I recently was called upon by a friend, to help him fix a computer problem that he described as something that replicated a browser hijacker involving Internet Explorer. I really could not get much out of what was occurring without sitting down at the PC; besides, I hadn’t seen the guy for awhile and I thought, why not, let’s get dirty…”

• About Tech Paul
I am a Retired computer & network technician. I used to think the machines were pretty cool. Now I don’t.
They’re anything but.
I regularly posted how-to’s and tricks & tips and general computing advice here starting in 2007. (Use the Search tool to find answers. But be aware, many are rather dated.) Sometimes I answered (your) specific questions in an article if I believed the answer was generally helpful to “everyone”. All the writing you see was my own, typos and all. There always is/was an implied “IMHO” in what you see here.

I never heard of the F11 fix, but it is a really good one to know. Thanks Paul, and Rick, for this sweet little tip.

Balmy33,
Rick’s well-told story was particularly “relate-able” by me (and anyone else who has tried to help a friend or relation) because I understand the frustrations of troubleshooting over the phone…
“Say that again.. It looks like what???”
But a good read for “everyone” too, I think.
