Introducing

[Match]

Hi all

 

Thought it was about time I introduced myself to all you regulars here, and to anyone else that wants to know who I am for that matter.

 

I ended up here after a quick Google, and must say that I was pleasantly surprised to find a site like this at the top of the list. I was expecting to find a sponsored site trying to sell me there products, to have that slot.

 

But anyway I'm a bit of a refugee from a much smaller, similar site that due to being sold and sold again, and new owners appointing moderators that don't have a clue about managing a forum (that's not to say that they don't know about there relative fields of expertise). I decided that it was time to find pastures new with a more friendly atmosphere. and hence forth drifted in here. and after reading a number of threads thought that it was worth while sticking around.

 

I'll not pretend to be an expert, but can find my way around a pc operating system (Windows), and with a few searches normally manage to sort out most problems that I encounter

 

My interest in PC's dates back to my school days when I learnt on a Tandy TRS80, Sinclair Spectrum and BBC Micro (If you Don't know what I'm talking about that means I'm Older than you). and after leaving school my interest got shelved, till I decided to pay for a colledge course and 3 years later and a lot of pound notes I got a Btec Certificate in Micro processors & Electronic principals, and with this in hand I decided that a carrier change was in order. and so got myself a job as a Bookbinder and again shelved my interest in PC's, some time later in life with an excess of money I decided to get a friend to Build me a PC, just in time for the launch of the telewest broadband in the UK. and after getting married and devorced Two PC's later I'm here.

 

My friend that built my original PC now runs a Rock Band giging in UK pub's with it's own web site and forum that I help 'Moderate' (If thats the right word for it. as I can't remember when we had someone outside the band post on it. other that your usual spam bots) and I look after the PA and sound mix juring the gigs (Sorry if you thought I was going to be a musician, just basically the roadie.)

Hello Match,

 

Considering the depth of your introduction I felt that something equally thoughtful and informative would be in order. However I elected not to give in to my feelings. :D

Hi and a welcome from me too. Good intro and I wish we got as good an intro from others. I also am old enough to remember the Sinclair series and the BBC micro. I thought then, if that is what computers are about, then no thanks, I have too many other things to do. I was eventually dragged kicking and screaming, into the twenty first century with this now old clunker running XP, at first with SP1 on it, now upgraded of course.
