Thank you for visiting the Computer Knowledge website. If you have visited in the past you may notice
that the site is reduced in size. Because of time constraints and the fact that I’m now retired and doing
other things, this reduction will continue to its ultimate end some time down the road. Thank you to all
visitors for your past use of the CKnow site.

Note: Due to comment spam, comments have been turned off throughout the site.

CKnow as we are a spam-free zone. Return addresses are easy to forge and CKnow gets “joe jobbed”
now and again. Nothing much we can do about it. Sorry. Just delete the messages.
