    I see, yeah I guess it would be a bit awkward being put in that situation, I myself used to be the first person to say hello in those sort of threads just because I saw a new thread and was experiencing a 'posting high' so I just wanted to respond regardless. I'm sure the guys meant no harm though, just fooling around and all.

    Sorry about those mishaps Kyle but I've been down a similar road myself, except the parts were dead on arrival and I was able to send them back for a refund fortunately. Anyway welcome dude :hi:

    should have said this earlier (but i didn't, obviously, the reason i didn't is: i wanted to be treated equally, but realised that you guys don't care about this stuff) anyway, a few years ago i was in a pretty bad car crash, dont walk too well, right arm knackered, brain damage loads of crap like that, but i'm still a masachist with computers, anyway enough about that

    P.S. i don't mind talking about it

    nothing wrong with that, why do stuff, when you don't have to[ot]BTW welcome to HWF[/ot]

    I m very sorry to hear that Dave. I hope that everything is well now.

    I had been through so many forums and I think this is the only forum where I've seen that everybody is being treated equally. There are some like me who knows just a little bit of computer and are still here and according to my opinion if we dont get equal response from admins and mods, we would never like to come back here again unless we stuck in a problem. I think I've told you this before that dont underestimate your self. I know you are mature enough to know, whats wrong or right...

    Dave - I too am very sorry to hear of what happened to you. I applaud the way you make every effort to help people on this site, and indeed, do so in a friendly and cheerful manner. Perhaps this is a testimony to your true character - one of resolve, with the ability to cope with what life throws at you.

    Keep on truckin! :good:

    My name is Fred, but not in real life. I have been on HWF for about a year and a half. I was told about the place by Anti-trend, who has been helping me with computer problems for a few years.

    Im kev, found hardware forums bout 6 months ago while trying to sort out a problem. Only just started posting in the last 2 weeks due to World of Warcraft committments. Im currently unemployed for the 1st time in 9 years but hope to have snagged myself a helpdesk job for an insurance company (fingers crosed). Live in York, England in rented house.
    Currently have a girlfriend who is part of a thread on here.

    I mostly know about computer and video games due to being socially inept and being a hardcore gamer for the last 15yrs.

    Try and help on other posts if i can.
    Some cool peeps on here.

    thanks for reading

    Yeah i have a late intro to, but yeah. Lets see i enjoy late night ninja fights, extreme chair carving, wrestling inanimate objects. Lol just messing around, i've been here for almost a year, i have gained a considerable amount of knowledge as well as understanding. I have a decent amount of knowledge, my strengths would have to be in displays and video cards. On a side note if you wanna roll i'm game, but come prepared cause i'll run you all over, WHHAATT. ok seriously again i live in MI, so i have an abundance of water available to me but the jobs are not so much. Anyways questions send me an IM or e-mail and before i forget be careful i have catmongoose like reflexes. PEACE OUT NINJ's

    Time to introduce myself as well...

    I'm Mike, 20, from Nottingham UK. I work for The Tech Guys, a company that deals with telephone tech support for Curry's, Dixons, and PC World. I joined these forums as an opportunity to help others, test my diagnostic skills, and also learn from other peoples ideas in the hope that I'll become a better hardware technician as a result.

    I'm an avid video gamer, mainly the RPG and simulation categories. I also have a home studio to record and produce my own music.

    If any dream of mine were to be fulfilled, I'd be able to compose a soundtrack for a video game, so if there's anyone out there in the game design scene in need of a composer, let me know :)

    Welcome Shortcake! If you're looking for a good course to do, you should take an A+ in core hardware. This equates to hundreds of hours of technical experience and will make you very desirable to employers in the technology industry. Hope that helps...

    Regards,

    Mike

    Welcome to the forums NeloForster!

    I'd better update my lil intro I think.

    I'm still Matt, always have been and always will be, so nothing new there then, except now I'm at University (De Montfort University in Leicester) studying Internet Computing (and discovering my true inner geek) - it's very closely related to Computer Science (so close that in the first year we study the same things) I'm enjoying it and doing well:

    Exam results:
    Foundations of computer science: 100%
    Programming in C: 90%
    SQL: 80%

    I've also handed in an assignment in my Web Development class but haven't had my results for that back yet.

    I have an old desktop which I rarely use (due to being at Uni) so I use my laptop pretty much all the time nowadays, I'm using Linux 99.9% of the time (Windows for games as I haven't bothered getting them sorted in Linux yet) and if you want to know the spec of my laptop it's in the "My Computer" bit (and in my sig)

    Anyway I've got no real speciality with hardware, I enjoy reading about it, and helping others get the most for their money, afterall, technology moves so fast that you need the best for your money at the time!

    Well I'm usually online, I just leave HWF sitting there in a browser so if you need anything drop me a PM or something!
