and for a brief history (http://techzonez.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3629&highlight=peppy) of how techzonez became such a great tech site. This should take care of all the 1500+ posters. :D

Lol, nice piece of history Phish... I was first started out on Peppy Forum too, was introduced by SupaStar, we were mates from University Course. Then, like the others, when Peppy's went down I took some time off, then joined up with Techzonez. Not thinking much of it, but then really got into power use of XP and needed lots of help. Then I was able to help others too. So after being a member for 18mths was promoted to TZ veteran status (lol on my B'day too) was excellent feeling actually. To be part of a close knit group. Cheers.

I was convinced here that XP was the best OS from M$ (I hated XP at the moment, and I still think I had founded reasons :p)
Now I have come to actually just accept it. I would like Linux better if I could actually understand it ;)
Here is where I post all my rants, because is the only forum I can keep active. It takes me a couple hours a day just to go thru the info here, so there is no time for othe forums. I tried a couple of forums, but I was always kicked for inactivity :p

Iowa City would be a good place to have a restaurant. What happened to it?
Where do you live now?

I've lived in Iowa all of my life, except for when I was in High School, I lived in Omaha. (Might as well be in Iowa still) I grew up in Red Oak, which is in SW Iowa. My dad was a politician, so I got to know a lot of the state that way.
He was a state senator for 18 years and ran for Congress against Tom Harkin back in 1980. My grandpa was also in the state legislature, before I was born.

I'm a natural born smart-ass; when I was born, before the doctor could spank me on the ass he first had to remove my foot from my mouth. I am also a Recovering-Catholic; it's like being an alcoholic, take's a lifetime to recover from. I finished therapy years ago and therefore do not hesitate to talk openly about abuse/neglect... or any of the problems that we as humans are faced with.

Now I just need to figure out all the wonderful stuff XP can do!! I know this site will help me immensely and hopefully I'll be able to repay the favor! :)

This place is really cool. Everyone has been friendly...at least so far no one has YELLED AT ME! :D
HEY YOU!!!!! GLAD YOU MADE IT INTO THE FORUMS!!!!!

you knew someone would yell at you right?

Feel free to stay awhile and ask lots of questions. It will help a certain moderator here forget about his injuries and stop him from possibly downloading weird flash movies for a little while.......;)

Don't let it bother you Beth C. We yell at each other all the time...normally out loud and not in the threads but that can change. ;)

Welcome to Techzonez. Stick around.

Welcome aboard Strifen and Beth.

There's not alot of yelling goes on here from my experience, stones and arrows maybe, but not much yelling. ;)

Yes I remember DOS (it's still around I think ..lol), and I remember when windows first came out.
I installed it on my comp (which was then running Norton commmand) and it soaked up so much resource that I had to un-install it to play any games.
Games that now happily run on mobile phones..lol..

Anyway as usual I'm bantering on....

welcome.

Hey, fellas! I'm new to the "forum" environment so if I post or thread wrong please forgive me. I was attracted to the site by its insightful members on various issues. I also had a problem with my PC and decided to join and post my problem to have some light shed on it. Everyone has been very helpful and I'm proud to say that I plan to stay with this "Forum Family" as long as I'm allowed to. Thanks again!

Hidey-ho everyone, I just registered. Gotta have at least one post, so here it is.

I've been playing around with computers since I purchased a Vic-20 back in the early 80's. No matter what other hobbies I pursue, I end up coming back to computers. I'm a Canadian who loves the NFL, enjoys playing chess, and wish there were more hours in the day so I could surf the net even longer.

cheers,

RayG

Hello, i know i've been here a while, but to be honest i've only just noticed this thread :o

I'm a student from sussex, and i joined this forum, ironically, because of what i read in the 'politics and current affairs' forum. There were some very inciteful arguments, and i wanted in! :)

I'm not a techie by a long shot :D

I seem to have gotten off on a pretty bad start with some of you, in particular Rik and Petard, in regard to the 'Military tribute' thread. I want to apologise if i have made you think ill of me, but i stand by my views.

I wouldnt worry too much about trying not to step on people's toes Alliswoe, everyone is pretty easy going. It is good to see someone with strong opinions and Im sure these guys like to argue anyway. ;)

Its actually quite funny all the arguements in the 'politics' sections... I guess the best way to stop these troubles would be to vote for the opposition government party. Australia and USA are in middle of election campaigns and they both are hanging by last little threads over the stupid IRAQ problem.

Oh well, anyway, welcome to all the new members. Cheers.

i know this comes around 20 odd post late but i figured the sooner i did this the better it would be.

my real name (no different from my display name) is rohit kumar (rohit means red in sanskrit) i stay in hyderabad, andhra pradesh: a province in southern india and study in grade 11 (called intermediate first year here). im a student of science (majoring in math, physics and chemistry) and am preparing for the IIT JEE's which i shall face in 2006.

i came accross techzones as a result of a search on 'technology forums' on google and am thankful to have joined it. techzones, when compared to other tech forums, is miles ahead because of its polite tone and it's super computing genius members, the one's who take time to answer the childlike querries i come up with ever so often... :)

my tech knowledge base, which i had presumed to be encyclopeadia like earlier, isn't very large. i could be best defined as novice, though i intend to change that label soon... :D
