Welcome! In July 1999, I began this site as a small collection of
articles gathered from my newsgroup posts and OnComputers “Geek Speak”
radio broadcasts. With help and encouragement of friends and colleagues,
acceptance of the technical press, and the frequent visitation of
computer users around the world, it grew, in about a year and a half, to
become one of the most widely cited and referenced Windows web sites in
the world outside of www.microsoft.com itself.
(This isn’t bragging — it’s numb-brained humility in the face of it
all.) Please make yourselves at home and enjoy the site!
I’ve spent most of my life as a writer in one or another capacity, and
practiced law for 14 years (ten of those in private practice). Presently
I work in IT for Warner Music Group, and do occasional consulting for
the Los Angeles Coalition to End Hunger & Homelessness. Microsoft has
been kind enough to strengthen my résumé by gifting me with its annual
Most Valuable Professional award every year since 1999.

Our official purpose: To provide quality support information for users
of Microsoft operating systems and leading Microsoft application
software. Our secret agenda: To help individuals become stronger in
their own lives, by encouraging community wherein those who need help
can ask, those who have help to give will offer it, and these roles
reverse from time to time.
What does “aumha” mean? The name of this domain consists of the two
Sanskrit words, aum ha, the first and last letters of the (devanagari)
Sanskrit alphabet — thus equivalent to the Greek “Alpha and Omega,“ the
beginning and end and, implicitly, the eternity that passes between.
The first, aum, most often written in English as Om, is a sacred
syllable representing the course of breath and the life-cycle —
creation, preservation, destruction — “a symbol both of the Personal God
and of the Absolute” (Swami Vivekananda). It is “at once an invocation,
a benediction, an affirmation, and a promise” (G.A. Barborka). Ha is an
expulsion of breath and a word for the Sun.
As a pun, it is also the Hebrew word for “behold,” etc. One translation
of the phrase aum ha, therefore, might be, “Alpha & Omega, The
Sempiternal Sun.” As you can see, this has nothing at all to do with
computers (or, possibly, has everything to do with computers). It is a
mantra that, for about 25 years, has had deep personal meaning for me.

But *this* site looks different somehow: http://www.aumha.org/win5/
(hope nothing untoward is happening with/to my SOHO router!)
Whatever!
Here is a Wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_A._Eshelman
There is no mention of the tremendous work Mr Eshelman has done to help
folk with computer problems
How best can Wikipedia be amended to give the credit where it is due?
Thanks
Dave
