Where to ask HW & Network Questions?

August 30, 2005 7:27 PM

I am searching for a 'one stop shopping' website for hardware and network related questions. I am a computer consultant with almost twenty years experience, so I know my way around the basic issues and, given enough time, can usually dig up and/or figure out anything I'm not familiar with. But I am finding myself with less and less time to spend researching this stuff and would much prefer being able to ask a pro directly.

I am more than willing to pay a monthly fee for this service, but all the websites that I've tried (Experts-exchange for one - not knocking that service, it just didn't fit my needs) really didn't come close to being able to answer my questions adequately.

I've been a member of the Mac-Mgrs list for nearly 10 years now. They have a few rules, but the answers are nearly always dead-on, and come fast.

For general network questions, it's the place I'd go. For Macintosh-specific questions, doubly so.

I don't know of a similar list for PC questions.

The open forums over at ArsTechnica can often be a good source of help.
