About Us

This site is intended for computer programmers that are interested in the basic workings of a P.C. type computer.

This site can be rewarding.

Much of the rewards comes not just from the content of this site,  but from the exchange between members.

This site is text-based, not made for visual gratification.

A bit of arrogance: You must read! If not, don't waste time (Your's, mine and the dedicated members). Click to a "play toy site" somewhere else, NOW!

(I imagine to lose a considerable number of the internet surfers with that line above.)

A question to you surfers: Why keep sending me e-mail (wasting my time) when you can just read for the information?

(If you are one that really has a hard time reading, send me an e-mail for prices on a personal calls to you using a land line.)

If this is your first time

Skim through the rest of this page. Then check out the rest of this site. Read more of the page the next time you come to this site

This site is "work in progress".

Nothing seems to be completed on this site. It is sometimes difficult to end some of the projects that don't really have an end. Like learning your addition tables up to the tens table. (10 + 10 = 100) But that doesn't mean that you don't need to know the twenties, thirties, forties tables also. Where does it end? What is the highest math level that you can think of?

P.S. An effort will be made to find better a closure on most topics on this site. (a pseudo end)

This site is knowledgeable.

knowledge is forever. knowledge is precious. knowledge is free.

This site's interpretation of "FREE"

Some things are naturally free (or should be), such as the air we breath and the water we drink. Our minds should be free to think what ever they want to. But all to often we have to pay for the air filter to filter the air, The water must be pumped up to the house, teacher's must be paid to teach. The term "free" is slipping away from us. The internet clearly shows us that tens of thousands of internet sites use the word "free", only to find out that "free" will cost you something in terms that reduce your total assets by  some percent. The thing is, that it is your loss and their gain. Their gain adds up time after time as losers click that "free button" thinking that "free" is truly "free".

Information in the form of knowledge is a valued commodity.

In other words, the information here is free, but since there is no real such thing as free it is really "free at a small cost"

For Example:

(1) Let's say that you have uploaded a considerable amount of your knowledge (information) at a small cost to you in such things as your time, software, etc.

(2) You exchange this information with others attending this site (me, for instance) increasing the pool of knowledge.

(3) Given enough information, and structuring that information, it becomes a valuable commodity.

(4) Then you use that information as a commodity that can then be sold for money.

Are you with me on this one? You gain cash in your pocket, but who now has the knowledge that you sold for money? That's correct, it is in your other pocket.

This is as close as we get to "free" on this site.
 I also trade/exchange information by way of this site

This site has no Copyrighted materials.

  Copyrighted material, including "Reverse engineered" Copyright material, is not permitted on this site.
exception:
It is my strong opinion that the simple building blocks (natural or evolutionary parts) that make up software should not be Copyrighted. They belong to every one (Just as 2 + 2 = 4 should not be Copyrighted).

Some companies copyright everything they can. Even simple one or two lines of basic code. Most companies and programmers will not release any part of it to you. I encourage the use and display of basic code Copyrighted or not, if it can be shown to be a simple or evolutionary building block. Without a complete set of "simple building blocks" this site will not survive.

This site has no advertisement.

No advertisements are permitted on this site, and I wish to keep it that way. If I have to have ads, they will be mine. A well designed site should not need advertisement. Referral links will be considered on an individual basis.

For the most part this site intends to give you everything you do want and nothing that you don't need.
