a not-so-geeky blog on PCs etc.

[Lutz_]

I recently found the Auslogics blog by accident. 
Contrary to their own description the blog is mostly not about Auslogics and their stuff. Instead it has a lot of general PC tips and news, and to me it appears mostly written exceptionally well. Instructions for non-geeks. For example:
http://www.auslogics.com/en/blog/2009/05/how-to-stop-svchostexe-high-cpu-usage/#more-598
The blog is not updated very frequently, but I find most posts well worth reading.

sounds like a good read as long as they don't use the articles as an excuse to promote their software. going to check it out.
