the difference?

Being new to this forum, I am in the process of figuring things out. What really is the difference between the General Tech. forum and the Tech. support forum? I can't figure it out. :confused:

Hmmm, I'm not so sure there is any real difference except most of us use the General Tech to 'chat' about electronics/computer problems in an effort to get on the right track about something. For instance, I like to go to the General Tech forum when I have a problem understanding terminology ect.

Tech Support is more or less used when we have a problem, know something about the problem, (what-when it happens, ect) we may know the area that is causing the problem, sound...video ect and have a general clue what and how to express the problem so that someone will recognize what you are doing and perhaps have a clue to help you along.

That's helpful information. Thanks
