From Gripe Wiki
Welcome to the Gripe Wiki. This is a place where readers of Ed Foster's GripeLog can organize and share their experiences and opinions in the way they think best. Right now we’re still in experimental mode, so we’re going to leave the wiki basically open and unstructured to see how readers think it should work. The basic goal is to allow you to describe the good and the bad points of the computer products and online services you use so that others can learn from your experiences. And hopefully avoid the pitfalls you've discovered.
The EULA Library
- What's the EULA library? It's a place where we can all read, post, and criticize the terms of license agreements before we put our money down for a product or service. If you've spotted a nasty term in a EULA, or want to see if others have had anything to say about it, check it out at the EULA Library.
Featured Article: Defective Dell Motherboards
- Readers have responded to the original "Dell Won't Recall Defective Motherboards" GripeLog story with many questions, some answers, and a number of interesting experiences of their own. Are other GX270 customer faring better or worse under Dell's motherboard replacement policy than the first reader we decscribed? How can customers tell if their motherboards are among those that are likely to fail? Are other Dell systems effected? And how do other computer manufacturers like HP, Apple, and IBM seem to be responding to problems caused by the bad capacitors? If you've had experiences of your own in any of those areas, add your comments in this wiki version of the story.
Featured Article: Anti-Virus Software Overview
- As explained in the August 8th GripeLog column, the Gripe Wiki's first project focuses on the anti-virus software category. Follow the links below to the stories on the various products and make sure your favorite is described accurately. And, since this is part of the GripeLog, you might also want to point out the weak points of products you’ve learned to dislike through bitter experience.
