I’ve never been very good with technology – I’m of the older generation and I’ve just never been confident in working it – and the whole concept of the Internet is a bit of a mystery to me. When a colleague at work asked me if I had tried filesharing I got a little scared. No of course I haven’t! You should, he told me. Two days later I can sit here and say quite confidently that I agree with him! Here’s how my journey from newbie to geek happened.
My colleague pointed me to OfficialAres.com and this really was an excellent starting point. It has accessible and interesting articles dealing with the technical and social issues surrounding the act of filesharing on the Ares network (which, I now know, is the biggest network for this kind of filesharing). There are also some useful ‘how-to’ articles and FAQs.
So anyway, I chose a version of Ares and started to download it. Within a few simple steps I’d actually managed to install it, too; if you’re surprised then think how astonished I was! This was unprecedented to say the least.
I followed the easy help articles that showed me how to configure the Ares software to work with my system and away I went. Amazing!
