In my oppinion 90% of all computer problems could be solved by 1. googling, 2. looking at the program's options.

I would add to that one more point:
3. use only legitimate software downloaded directly from vendor (not cracks, torrents, rs, mu, etc, ect...)

Aint it the truth ... Bozone Alert!!!

Actually I have 25 years in the PC business, started using Windows with version 1.3, have worked for Computer Associates and Hewlett-Packard in Silicon Valley, asked only one question, and have helped others in my brief time here. Mostly I read. Hell, yesterday I spent two hours reading every post in the "Show us you desktop" thread.

Anyone who listens to Stevie Ray can't be all bad.

That's the only thing I can listen to because I'm too stupid to figure out how to change the CD. Hmmm... maybe if I post the question in one of the Seven Forums somebody might help me. Now I just have to figure out which forum. Maybe "News". Everyone will see it there.

cannot change the CD - Google Search

Google may be helpful but it won't solve all the problems, otherwise there won't be any need for forums like this.

That search returns 166,000,000 links. You forget "i 2 lzy". My ex-wife even bought me this shirt.

Although I agree with the basic observation, I myself do not mind to answer "simple" questions. As was said, there are many circumstances where people do not react the way like we would react. And Googling is an art in itself. If you want a meaningful result, you need some practice too.

I think sometimes we have to remember why all the new members come here to ask questions - The main reason is the quality of the results they get.

The answer may well be there if you google it - Number 124625 out of 1536847 possibles as long as you follow the chain of 6 links that lead from the google answer to the actual solution.

The fact is the best way to answer a query about Windows 7 is to SevenForum it

you are a lot more likely to find the answer is the first one you get.

As to whether it is acceptable to just respond to a question with "just google it" the answer is sometimes, if the question is phrased in a way that does not follow general levels of courtesy.

Even then if there is a simple answer that may be given without effort on your part, why not just be helpful
