Dear Amy: How do you know so much about computers? — Keyonna, Kinston, N.C.

Dear Keyonna: I've always been pretty good at using computers, since I grew up using them at home and at school. I learned a lot in my computer classes at school, but I've also learned a ton of cool things writing for 4Kids.org. Kids send me all kinds of tech questions, and while I sometimes know the answer, a lot of times I use the Web to find it. A great place to learn about computers is Howstuffworks, http://computer.
howstuffworks.com. You can learn about everything from how different hardware parts work to how to know if your computer has a virus. Start by choosing a topic or by using the search bar at the top of the page to find something specific.

For questions involving the Web, a site I like to use is The New WWW FAQs, www.boutell.com/newfaq. Here you'll find answers to the most common questions people have about the Web.

If I can’t find the answer at those sites, I’ll use a search engine, such as www.askkids.com, http://kids.yahoo.com or http://kids.aol.com/KOL. Now that you know my secrets, you can be a tech guru too!
