What are some good resources for learning about computers?

The best way is to STAY AWAY FROM THE INTERNET. Unfortunately, there are so many "experts" around, poor information is spread like wildfire. I would recommend books, or some real cles, or a mentor who is in the field. Some of the better CompTIA A+ study guides will help you get the basics all around, and you can get your certification to boot. Computer science is a complicated field, and unfortunately, like anything else, you have people who know it, and people who think they know it, try not to learn from the latter.
