ok... Thanks Susan, I like to read stuff there (especially from you folks) and I do learn lots, but I just cant see much advantage to actually having to sign up.  Maybe I am getting old and cranky and cannot be bothered being subbed to too many things.  I just feel that tech republic would be one too many - nothing against TR, I think one more of anything would be one too many - however if there was some great advantage to being subbed up to TR I would probably do it.

It seems like I will be happy just to be a lurker there.

on an aside - I always find it slightly unnerving when a reply shows up before my post has appeared!!  I thought us Aussies were meant to be ahead of many of you in time and space!!

kind regards
Darryl.

Well, I'd like to think that I write useful articles and blog entries.
Having said that, I realize that everything I write has a limited audience.
TechRepublic tackles a wide range of topics, from user type solutions to
high end IT and developer issues.

But, I'll admit -- when I need a specific solution, I come here. You can't
get the same kind of quick turn around at TR that we get here. In fact, you
can post a question and not get a single response. On the other hand, I
learn something new there almost every day -- but the catch is, it isn't
always something I can put to immediate use.
