Welcome!

Welcome to the Computers and Electronics Forum!

Due to the increasing number of threads over the years in the Equipment Forum regarding various consumer electronics and computer related questions, it was decided to establish a new forum dedicated just for those types of questions, comments, and discussions.

Although Fishing Minnesota.com is a forum that revolves around the outdoors, we understand that our members also have interests indoors when the conditions don't permit us to enjoy fishing, hunting, or our other favorite outdoor activities. Within this forum we expect to talk about items such as computer hardware and software, cell phones, home entertainment systems, TV's, and any other consumer electronics that don't quite fit into the outdoor equipment arena.

Don't worry....GPS, fish finders, and other outdoor gear discussions can still be found in the Equipment Forum located near the top of the message board home page!

Can this be expanded to games/gaming systems discussions?

thanks for throwing this forum together I know that I'm not the smartest when it comes to computers and all the techey stuff that goes with it.

That is the great thing about this site, so many people are willing to pitch in and help the next guy!!!

I expect there may be some crossover between this forum and the Entertainment forum, but that forum covers all types of media such as books, TV, movies, music, and video games while this one revolves more around the electronics or hardware items. I would think that the game console discussions would fit into this forum.

Thanks for starting this forum...

Of course how are we corresponding here today? Computers... If our computers are not working at top notch speed how else can we enjoy chatting about our outdoor activities???

LMITOUT and Upnorth, I know that you will do a great job on this forum...

Congratulations!!

My fear is that the vast majority of potential helpers won't see the posts in this forum vs the "equipment-expert information" forum.

I guess time will tell.

Threads are moved as needed into the appropriate forums. Over time as the threads are relocated, more people will differentiate the purpose of the two forums and start posting in the proper areas. This area of the message board is still relatively new and will take some time to get used to, and even in the established forums there are still some crossover posts that sneak through on occasion. It's inevitable.
