Hi ... Could someone explain what I need to do to learn everything
about OS and hardware ? I am a novice user but I have lots of free time
and I would like to know as much as I can about computers , So could
someone tell me what steps I need to take to learn ? TIA

For a start, read everything you can in these newsgroups. They are a wealth
of information.

Additionally, type in what you are looking for in Google and browse some of
the top (non paid) responses.
