The worst part is, you could probably fix some of these things yourself if you just had a little help or guidance.  Calling a professional, while sometimes necessary, can be both a greater inconvenience and of course a greater cost.  It may take forever to contact them, and when you do get in touch with the help desk, they always make you reboot the thing twelve times before you get any real advice.

Let me be clear on a couple things before we continue.  First, I am a professional computer technician and have been working in the industry for over 15 years.  There are numerous occasions where a professional is needed to help with or repair your PC.  It is often my advice to have your system evaluated at least one every three months.  On top of that, there are many things a novice should not try on their PC for fear of causing more harm than good.  Not everything is this way though.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  Your best way to help maintain your computer is by staying informed and educated.  I’m not suggesting everyone run out and get a Computer Science degree, but I am suggesting you use some of the top notch free resources that are available to you.  The largest these days is of course the internet.

Don’t get nervous yet, I’m not suggesting you look up some super hi-tech article and study it until you know it inside and out.  You don’t have to.  The net is full of people who already understand these things and are more than willing to pass some of that understanding on to you.  They do this in forums.

Forums are a wonderful thing.  A lot of forums are actual cyber communities of people who love to talk about various topics.  They have people of varying skill sets, all interacting in a friendly supportive way.  I know there’s a free computer support forum out there with people in it just waiting to answer some of your questions.

So next time those pop ups are driving you crazy, and you can’t reach your favorite help desk, stop by a computer support forum.  You’ll be surprised at how good an experience it can be.

What are some good technical colleges that offer programming and say apache ?

I’ve been working since as a professional “software engineer” and have been quite successful. But I’d like to get a MS in Computer Science (to give me more career options and as a good example for my kids).

What would be a good institution for me to finish (or start over on) a BS degree? It would be nice to get transfer credit and even work experience credit, but it’s more important to me that I get a degree that would be recognized by a good university MS program.

Since I have a full-time job and a wife and kids, it would be more convenient for me to take all or the majority of my courses online.

I’d also like the program to be modern and interesting. I’d like courses to be available on subjects such as compiler theory, distributed computing and even software engineering with agile methodologies.

Am I asking for too much?
