Google as IT
I must say that over the years, troubleshooting has become much easier with the rise of the search engine. Many an issue has been solved just by visiting a search portal with the exact (or vague) error message.
One of my favorite resources is Google’s Special Searches which are narrowly defined for Microsoft, Linux, Apple and BSD (also for the U.S. Gov’t, but they don’t really help with computers). Being able to trim out a lot of the chaff saves time usually wasted scanning over irrelevant results.
So next time you’re troubleshooting, give the special search a try.
