The purpose of this page is to list Internet sites which benefit PC users in the general area of technical support / problem solving, for example places where you can get drivers, useful files, documents, programs, or tips/advice. It is not for sites unrelated to PCs, or for sites which only contain advertising and publicity material.
This version of the list is the first incarnation as an HTML file, and the first to incorporate substantial contributions from PC Plus readers. Much of my time has been spent compiling suggested sites and organising a database capable of maintaining and outputting this file with the minimum of fuss. I have not yet had time to verify that all the sites listed fit the criteria or indeed still exist. Some won't. I will check through as time permits.
Thanks to all who suggested entries, with a special mention to the main contributors Edward Quan, Roy King and Jason Pillinger.
Please email suggested additions and reports of deceased/relocated sites to isharpe@futurenet.co.uk
