This computer help web site will be of interest to anyone who works regularly with computers; certainly instructional designers and staff who support distance education students and instructors will find Computer Hope of great value. You can test your geekiness by taking the Monthly Quiz Question and by examining Quiz questions and answers from previous months. Also available is the Computer Word of the Day and the Latest Computer News. See the Site Map, the First Time Users link, and the Top 10 Pages to orient to the site.

I came across the site while seeking online resources to answer a technical question about setting the command path for my computer while I explore using scripts with the Python programming language. All the computer books that I consulted provided the same incomplete information and all the online resources that I checked were similarly incomplete. Finally, after hours of searching, I stumbled across Computer Hope (a well named site!) and did a search in their database; my answer emerged in a link to Technical Reference number #CH00549 on "How to Set the Path in Windows 2000/Windows XP." Most computer questions that I need to answer are much less obscure than this one, but I expect to be returning to this site regularly. ____JH
