The purpose of this site
The main focus of this site is the IT Resource. Here you will find various guides, tutorials and explanations for a plethora of computer-related topics. These guides typically start quite light and then get more and more in-depth. So it's up to you - the reader - to decide how far you want to go. If you absorb all the information I have to offer here, you will be well on your way to becoming a computer guru.
Topics covered include, for example, PC system architecture (with discussions
of various components such as the motherboard,
CPU,
memory
and bus), an introduction
to binary and hex,
and much more.
In particular, make sure you check out the networking section. I developed this section when I found a total lack of coherent networking articles on the Internet. This was especially true of material relating to TCP/IP. I now find this section to be one of the most popular areas of JTG and I receive many emails of commendation for it. Thanks to all who take the time to offer their comments, constructive criticisms and praise.
I do acknowledge that this site hasn't been updated in several years. Sorry about that! However, while I'm quite a bit behind in keeping the site current on stuff like quad-core CPUs and the latest architectures from Intel and AMD, the rest of the content is still very valid and accurate, and no computer expert should be so-named without knowing what you'll find here.

Can't Load RapidshareI've been trying for days now to download something via Rapidshare, just to check out the lyrics for someone, but all I get is 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'.
After some comments from Dash regarding the ISP, and that maybe it's them maybe blocking it, I decided to go a googling.
It seems BT and TalkTalk users are both having intermittent problems with this website, and also zshare.net.
One suggestion made was to put in the URL figures ie http://195.122.131.46 and lo and behold I get to their main webpage. I don't understand why though!. What is the difference between typing in the numbers or typing in their name?
Also once I'm into their website, their homepage, I can't get anywhere else. If I click on Support etc., all I get is the 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'.
Anyone got any ideas as to why I can access this site (just the one page) using numbers but not letters and also why would it be happening at all.
Thx.
Pictures below show:
1. Connecting to Rapidshare via numbers.
2. Trying to connect to Suppport.
3. Not able to connect, shows Internet Explorer comment.
4. Trying to connect to Rapidshare.com using their name.
Usb Datagot this usb where I had student's work to print and some pictures from family learning workshop with kiddies painted faces. Anyway, I used the USB on the HP printer we have so they could frame their little faces and the stupid printer did something. Now all my files seems to have been changed into 1 single file. Is there anyway I can retrieve the original files?
LOST Having watched the the pilot episodes of the new series LOST last week i was admittedly quiet gripped by the two episodes. Even though some parts of it seemed a bit thin ie polar bear in tropical island?!?!?
Anyway, is it me or did yesterdays episode seem to go now where? i felt it could have either done with an extra half hour or a couple of less adverts at one point it was only 6min of show between adverts!!!
Although was enough there to make me want to watch it next week!
anybody have any theorys on who locke is (bold bloke with scar)??
News and Changes
This site doesn't get many updates these days. In fact, this one page is the only one that has been updated in a few years! But the forum is still active and the content you'll find in this site is still relevent and accurate.
Where to go for your hardware
Are you in need of a new awesome gaming machine, silent PC, media centre, or maybe just a budget PC?
Well, you can't go far wrong with paying a visit to UK Gaming Computers.
I can also heartily recommend PC Specialist for bespoke PC systems built to your specification and at a great price.
Gaming
Quite a few Forum members are into gaming, especially the likes of Call of Duty 4. If you fancy taking part, joining our clan, hosting a server, or whatever, then we'll be pleased to have your company.
Features and articles
I've recently overhauled the Dual Booting article to include a description of how to dual boot Windows and Linux. Moreover, this article will tell you how you can switch to use the Windows Boot Loader as your primary loader, in preference to LILO or GRUB.
Downloads
I've written an application called DJ Wallpaper Changer which is available in the Downloads section of the Forum. It allows you set up a playlist of your favourite images (whether they be JPG, BMP or PNG) and then rotates through those images, setting them to your desktop wallpaper on startup/logon. The application runs on startup and then terminates, so it doesn't remain resident and consume any system resources like some similar apps do. I've tested it on XP and Vista. I reckon it will work on Windows 7 too, but what's the point... Windows 7 will already do this for you!
Just for Fun
The big secret is out. Get your hands on the Windows 98 source code here!
And finally...
People have finally cottoned on that PC questions go in the Forum, and not in my inbox! Well done, and keep up the good work.
