* Q: What are FAQs? Bill from Beltsville
* A: FAQ means frequently asked questions. This page is intended to answer questions that might be frequently asked, thus saving me from having to answer them frequently.
* Q: Are these questions really asked frequently? Gail from Gaithersburg
* A: No. As far as I know, no one has ever asked any of the questions answered here.
* Q: Are any of the people listed here asking questions real people? Jeremy from Jersey

* Q: Why do you give really bad computer advice? Betty from Baltimore
* A: There are so many sites on the Web from which you can get really good computer advice; I felt there was an obviously overlooked need for advice from the other end of the spectrum.
* Q: Aren’t you concerned that someone may actually try to do some of the things you’ve suggested in your “Really Bad Computer Advice” column? Fred from Philadelphia
* A: I bear no responsibility for what people do to their computers. My advice is intended for amusement, or for use by those who wish to get even with their computers for all the years of frustration they’ve suffered, or for those working on someone else’s computer; someone they don’t especially like.
