________________________________________________________________________ PC-Clone Hardware Newsgroup Pointer By: John M. Grohol
This Pointer will help you find the information you need and get your questions answered much quicker than if you were to simply crosspost to every hardware newsgroup in existence. It is provided as a public service. Post your article in the most appropriate newsgroup according to its topic. Please do not post your hardware questions to software newsgroups, and vice versa. "For Sale" articles are never appropriate to either the hardware or software newsgroups.
Comments & suggestions are always welcome!
