Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

BS Applied Mathematics Illinois State Chicago, Ill. Have dealt with computers since 1974. Xerox Main-Frame. Reel to reel, and drum storage unit... Cut my teeth on Unix, & CPM. Was there when DRDos flew screaming from Digital Research's womb. At that time, I thought it was, "The best thing since fried toilette paper!" Full of security holes and plane sloppy in my opinion. I figured DOS would burst into flames, and disperse. With a pretty display of flying sparks. "Oh", say within 6 months TOPS! Shows what I know... Seems Bill, an his Winders. Have made a pertty fortune. From not being original. And, being needlessly over-complicated, without justification. Yah, I'm old enough to critic. Think I probably seen, touched, hacked, blew-up, or tried ta fix, every type of computing machine built by the, "Hands of Man." Noticed Fizzycapola mentions the Sinclair ZX. I owned a ZX80. Neet as heck! And, portable. Loved to write 8088 Assembly with it.

Just happy ta be here... Thom Ensley.

Well, Hello girls & guys, My name is Terry and I live in Athens, Georgia, USA. I try to help friends by attempting to repair things, mostly computers and an occasional TV. I have no formal training in electronics, leaning by reading and the internet. My primary goal in each endeavor is to remain un-electrocuted. Having read all of your introductions I seem to be among lifetime devotees that share a wealth of knowledge and experience. I feel I certainly have hit the mother lode. Thankyou

LEt do it

A WELCOME to everyone that joins in!!

Peta, ofcourse some advertising would always be helpful to making this a success.... This forum has existed since October 6th 2003, online the first time at about 9:00PM CST. Being a couple days old, atleast there's traffic...

I don't know if this forum will be a huge success or not, I created it out of requests from viewers, so we'll see how many actually join... If it takes off, I'll be tickled pink!! If it flops, I'll simply remove it.

A little about me?!?

HMMM I'll give a little info... I've been in the electronics field since 1991, with experience ranging from TV/VCR repair all the way to industrial electronics for a very large and well known manufacturer. I started in computers in 1994, just for a change and something I thought would be more challenging.... First of all, in the computer field, I AM NOT a number cruncher (programmer) YUK!!!!! I'm a hardware/network guy... I can install any OS, repair and make it work, but sitting and typing code is more boring than watching flies mate!! So I stick to hardware!! I get the 'thrill' from coming up with cures for problems, creative and USEFUL mods (this DOES NOT include neon lights and corny batman windows in my cases)...

Before the VP6 was around, Abit's poster child was the BP6, dual celeron board... Being one of the pioneers to run dual Coppermines in my BP6 was quite a thrill... Then came the VP6, and the dreaded crap cap problem... Thus was born PROJECT:VP6, which is over a year old... It can be viewed at www.kabalsrealm.com/systems/projects/vp6/. That single article ultimately led to badcaps.net and this forum... I was shocked at the publicity it drew...

A little inside info?!?
Well, age?! I'll say late 20's and that's close enough... I enjoy dealing with the computers, all of this is just a hobby these days, so if it did flop, it's no loss... I'm also a car nut... (300ZX!!!)... I also enjoy flying immencely, although, no I don't own an airplane... YET!!! Maybe if I sell off all this computer junk, I could afford one... HEH I own 3 domain names, and host sites for a few friends on this array... Of course they pay me nothing... HMMM Ohh well... Money isn't all... That's about all I think needs to be revealed... If there's something you really need to know about me, ask... The answer all depends on the question you asked...

Anyhow,
Peta, and everyone else that has joined, Welcome to the forums!! Bring some friends with ya!! :roll:

Hi Dan here - new member who likes to tinker with mechanical and electrical items. Played more with big electrons - 120V house wiring versus small electron circuit board repair. Found this forum as I have a Infinity powered sub that will not turn on and wanted to research fix before tearing into it. Great forum!

Hey!
Just wanted to say hi to everyone. I'm a do-it-yourselfer who enjoys the challenge of fixing things...electronics included when possible. Hoping to learn and share whatever I can. Good to be here!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hello Everyone
I have visited many different types of forums, including this one, in the past, but I have never posted until now. (((Big Time Newbee)))
I am not new to electronics. I graduated top of my class in Industrial Electronics at a vocational school back in 1984. The same year I enlisted in the US Navy as a Cryptologic Technician, but within three years began working in computer programming. This led me into system and network administration, as well as computer repair. Throughout these many years I have dabbled in electronic repair here and there. In the last year or so I have been asked to do TV repair for family and friends, and enjoy getting back into it. I have recently purchased a Tektronix 468 oscilloscope in very good condition and hope to do more repair in my spare time.
I look forward to contributing to this forum, instead of only benefiting from it.
