Other computers
There are so many types of computers and operating systems. First, Unix, of course
.(See the Unix Wizards Mailing list). Then : Atari computers, the TRS 80 series and
others from Tandy, DEC computers, mainframes from IBM, Hewlett Packard
computers, CP/M machines, users of LDOS/TRSDOS or OS9, Apricot, Z88,
Timex/Sinclair, Archimedes, Psion, and Armstrad.
Even so, there is a high chance that you can find online support for most of them,
even if the vendor went out of business years ago. For such computers, CompuServe is a
good place to start.
For journalists and authors
ProfNet is a cooperative of more than thousand international public information officers
giving journalists and authors quick and convenient access to expert sources. Mostly,
members represent colleges, universities, and a wide range of government, corporate,
and non profit entities oriented to scholarship and research.
There is no fee for conducting ProfNet searches, nor is there any limit to the
number or frequency of your queries.
Virtual Knowledge Communities
Internet lets us share knowledge with others across geographical boundaries, and often
also across language and culture borders. We can easily work with someone in
Montevideo, Tokyo, Kautokeino, Moscow, and Accra, just as if they were living in your
local neighborhood.
The effects of being visible in the net's knowledge sharing communities include
learning from others, having an inter personal network you can share, finding great
people to work with on issues affecting you.
For an example, check how the Kidlink organization reach out to network teachers
around the world.
Where to find a suitable knowledge sharing community? Check our pointers in
Chapter 10 (Mailing lists and web forums, Usenet).
