Let's face it: we've all wasted countless hours of our precious lives on hold with Tech Support. Some of us may have even paid that $95 dollar per-incident fee Microsoft charges to holler for help. Well, you can kiss those nights of elevator ballad-induced insanity goodbye, because there's a swingin' new community on the Net where the coolest cats on the hardware circuit spend their time. We're talking about www.SharkyForums.com.

It is a place where you can feel free to browse around, but more importantly, make your voice heard! If you have a beef with any of our Sharky Extreme reviews or editorials, let us know - after all, we're here to serve you better. If your discussion sparks off entertaining banter or is incredibly insightful, it may be selected for this new weekly feature, Forums Spotlight.

Forums Spotlight, is a highlight of the most interesting and debated topics in the world of SharkyForums. We realize that not everyone has the time to surf through forums to find topics related to their own personal interests, so we've done the surfing for you, and herein provide an overview of what topics have people talking this week.

If what you see in our Forums Spotlight interests you, we've added links on each spotlight discussion page so you can easily add your own comments and jump in on the debate!
