I am not really sure what you are looking for.
I don't really know how things would fit into a catagory.
Basic IT terminology? There are so many things I have heard in this Computer Forum I have had to look up. Never heard overclocking until this forum. Over clocking isn't basic term but the explanation might need to be. Is it something every computer user needs to know? If not. Why not. But Popeye covers its. Still not sure I understand it. Maybe I don't need to.
A lot of things are abbreviated when I read posts and numbers added. What's that all about? A seasoned computer user probably knows but a beginner IT person wouldn't.
Computer Dictionary section. Ya! people can google it but why necessarily send them somewhere else because they may not understand it when they get there and have to come back for an explanation (and get lost along the way.)
I once asked Popeye if I had to worry about a fire or a shorting out if I do something goofy plugging in my computer components once I have been inside (hey a true beginner worries about such things.)
Maybe every week have a computer term with a basic explanation spelled out.
I don't think we necessarly have to get in a hurry, just brainstorm for awhile. I will try to become more familar with what is out there and poses a question to me as an IT beginner. I will look at the other catagories and see if anything might need to be fitted for a IT beginner in the new forum. I am just throwing things out there. Personally I think antivirus and malware (sp) is covered in the other forums. If a beginner comes to the forum and sees a section for IT Beginners they might feel more comfortable gravitating to it and knowing such a forum exists. I would.
