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.

Christmas Consumer RightsChristmas Consumer Rights & Myths - Don't automatically assume you've a right to a refund.
MYTH 1: If it doesn’t fit, you can take it back!
If there’s no fault, e.g. if you buy the wrong size or change your mind, you've NO legal right to return goods. Yet many shops' policies do allow it, though then it sets the rules, so if it says "only a credit note", that's it.
RIGHT 1: You must be a SAD FART!
If goods don't follow the SAD FART rules, i.e. be of Satisfactory quality, As Described, Fit for purpose And last a Reasonable length of Time, then they're faulty, take 'em back.
MYTH 2: You need a receipt to return faulty goods!!
With faulty goods you just need to prove purchase. Receipts are the easiest way, yet any other legitimate proof is acceptable.
RIGHT 2: Buy online & you CAN return without faults
Unlike instore, the Distance Selling Regulations mean you've a right to a no-fault return for online orders (and telephone, catalogue etc.) within seven days of receipt.
MYTH 3: You’ve no rights on eBay
If the person’s a ‘trader’ who makes some or all their living buying or selling, or it’s a ‘buy it now’ sale, you’ve the usual SAD FART rights. If it’s a private seller, then it’s just “let the buyer beware”.
RIGHT 3: Your rights are with the retailer
If goods are faulty, legally your agreement is with the retailer NOT the manufacturer. If the shop says you must go to the manufacturer, it's wrong.
RIGHT 4: Get money back on late Christmas deliveries.
If you or the retailer specified the goods were for delivery before Xmas, and you don't get them in time, it's a breach of contract and you've a right to compensation. Thus write "must be delivered before Christmas" on order documents before signing
If a store refuses your rights, ultimately it's an issue for the courts. Yet on the other hand, even when you don't have rights, be polite and stores will often allow leeway, after all they want to protect their brand.

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.
