My name is Chris Grant and I started Techrescue.net in early 2001 as a project to test my ASP coding skills.

In the last four years, Techrescue.net has grown to be very popular and has helped many more people than I could ever have imagined.

My philosophy is to make the site as simple and easy to understand as possible, avoiding over use of technical terms or providing reference to the dictionary wherever a technical term is unavoidable.

The Techrescue.net Guides were written by me to provide as detailed an instruction set on the subject as possible. Hopefully they will appeal to, and be understood, by everyone from a beginner to a techie alike.

Please let me know if you would like to see any more guides on other subjects.

Techrescue.net has had over 36,000 visitors a month in it's prime. I hope it will continue to provide help and advice to everyone who visits.

The one thing I am short of is time so if you feel you can spare some time to help out or would like to write an article then please send me an email with your details and/or contribution.

Please feel free to let me know (Good or bad, although please make it constructive rather than a torrent of abuse - yes I have had some like this before and it ain't very helpful). I can only improve on something if someone is prepared to tell me what works and what doesn't so please don't be shy!

This site is dedicated to my late Dad, David Grant,  without whom I would never have become interested in computers, never become a Programmer or an IT Project Manager and never had the knowledge to pass on to others as I hope this site will.

My only wish is that he had been here to see it grow into the helpful resource it has become.

I know he would certainly have contributed to the content and found it useful himself.
