hmm, as for me, I would say I would ask a friend if I think they might know the answer off the top of their head. Otherwise, I would then search and scour and if I still cannot come up with a suitable answer then I will goto a newsgroup.
However, I try to search as much as I can before I goto newsgroups or the like for help, just because usually my questions have already been answered somewhere..
but I am also a nerd who routinely reads technical newsgroups just to see the problems and solutions other people are encountering
