I would like to see a port forwarding tutorial. I'm trying to get a computer set up as a server, but I can never get through to it. I've been trying to find a tutorial but I can't find one.

Also, dual booting and linux tutorials.

I want to see a tutorial on how to set up dual booting with linux and windows. I've screwed this up before and had to reinstall windows.

I have a little bit of experience with that, so if you need any help Grinler, pm me. I would be more than happy to help. It would be a great tutorial to have in the stock as just about everyone that wants to give Linux a try still wants and needs to keep Windows around as a fail safe.

IPOD
I would love to see a tutorial
I have a three computer network and would love to see an easy step by step to allowing songs from one computer to show up on the other, I know you can 'share' the songs, but that requires iTunes to be open on the other computer. It is a real pain in the *** trying to move songs to the 'main' computer (this computer syns with the iPod)

Maybe someone else who is familiar with them would like to write one?

Mozilla/Firefox with an explanation that it is okay to venture outside of Microsoft related products (many newbies fear anything that is not preinstalled on their PCs)

While this product is pretty self explanatory http://www.spywareguide.com/blockfile.php it can be part of a suite of preventatives. A simple tutorial would dovetail nicely with other preventatives (spyware guard, spyware blaster, etc.)

How about one to copy music from your old vinyls or cassettes to your computer. I have one I got from Andy McFadden if you would like to use it for a base I can post it or send it to you,

I would like to see a tutorial on classic video game emulation. I believe that TechTV did a segment on it, but it would be nice to have your expert opinion as well.

Please post back when a suggestion works, so that others may learn.

I would love to see a tutorial on how to do the following:

1. Speeding up IE's

2. How to remove software that isn't in use anymore. For example, I have Microsoft Money, Microsoft Word and a ton of tutorials wasting space I don't use, need or want. If I remove, my Windows 98SE collapses.

3. How to remove old preinstalled anti-virus programs without collapsing the OS. Example: I have an old outdated McAfee Virus program I cannot uninstall. When I do, my Windows 98 SE collapses.

That's just for starters. I am sure I can think up a lot more :thumbsup:
