Have a question? Ask Fred Langa!

Brian Livingston By Brian Livingston

This week in Windows Secrets, our editor-at-large finally gets back to work.

Many of you know that Fred Langa, after nine years of writing the LangaList e-mail newsletter by himself, and then merging with Windows Secrets and writing our lead story for almost a year after that, escaped to the wilderness on a five-month motorcycle journey through the width of the U.S. and back across Canada.

His quest, and the technical support he provided to four lucky Windows Secrets readers who were chosen to receive in-person Housecalls, were documented in an eight-week series of columns we published in our paid content Sept. 27 through Nov. 15.

Fred Langa Now Fred (photo, left) is putting his famed Windows knowledge to good use in a new series of articles that we'll publish twice a month. He's devoting his LangaList Plus column to answering questions from you, our readers. Whether it's a simple question on something we've published, or a difficult technical problem that's come up with Windows, Fred will part the veil and reveal the inner workings of the operating system to you.

If you're not receiving our paid content, it's easy to get. There's no set fee! We accept any financial contribution of any amount, whatever it's worth to you. We just want as many people as possible to have our best information. Find out how to upgrade

To send a question to Fred, or to any of us, use the e-mail address or Web form that you'll find on the Windows Secrets contact page.

We hope you enjoy Fred's technical expertise, along with the material from the rest of our contributors. Thanks for your support.

Take a holiday break — next issue Jan. 3

We skip publishing during the last two weeks of December, so our hard-working staff and contributors can be with their families and loved ones for the holidays. (Our readers are too busy playing with their new toys to read much technical information during their week off, anyway.)

Our next regular publication will be on Jan. 3, 2008. Have a Happy New Year!

Brian Livingston is editorial director of WindowsSecrets.com and the co-author of Windows Vista Secrets and 10 other books.
