PC World Video

This holiday "gift" for you and yours comes from PC World. Their new video area offers practical guides on the small screen (PC that is) on how to replace a graphics card, set up a wi-fi network, and others. The gift part is that you can enjoy a nearly "my-new-technology-doesn't-work" phone-call free holiday season. Okay, I am dreaming a little bit here, but you get the idea. The videos are fairly good, and actually do offer some help for the average to beginner PC user. There was adequate detail on the video I watched, but it wasn't too drawn out, for example they showed going to the nVidia and ATI websites to download drivers, but since that was self-explanatory they whizzed by it, which was fine with me. These videos are obviously not for the uber-all-hours geeks and modders that hang out here, but for those you invariably end up supporting, most likely during a holiday family gathering, to do it themselves.
