I think you just hit upon a great new forum idea that would generate a lot of traffic and ad revenue. Oh, wait. No ads? Wont happen. 

This stuff is expensive and to even cover costs would require membership or ad revenue. Not to mention the time of volunteer "administrators" to moderate activities.

But, to try to help, are your questions hardware, software or task related?

What operating system?

What Hardware is involved?

What tasks might be involved?

What sort of issues do you or your friend need help with?

For example, sometimes it's hard to find the thing you think you need in Win8 or 8.1 when you are used to Win 7 or, God forbid, Vista.  Win 10 is awesome and pretty much fixes that, except that Win 8.1 and 10 are so good that many things I needed in Win 7 to make it function, I no longer need.

Or, Is it office, word or excel related? Or IOS?

Anyway, there are lots of answers out there. Or maybe Bruce could add a section here, without moderating it himself, where we could all try to help. I have 10 or 15 people who contact me regularly for help of some sort or other with this stuff, and I am no expert. I help when I can. Sometimes, it's tough to determine what someone is really trying to do, vs trying to explain "where the button is" for what they think they want to do. 

Maybe that's in off topic? I donno. Post up. Let's see what'cha got.
