Hello from Texas

Just an elderly fellow wanting to say hello or "howdy" from Dallas. I have really enjoy the past year or so coming here to learn a few things by reading many of the threads. And finally joining up. I hope to be able to help with whatever I can in return.

 

I'm from Texas too . Houston, to be exact .

 

Welcome to MajorGeeks! :-D How is the Rebublic doing these days, I live next door, but have not been there in a while.

 

Welcome to Major Geeks.:wave

Thought I saw someone peeking around.:-D
Finally joined up? Better late than never.

 

Just dandy. And I have alot family in your neck of the woods in Monroe and Shreveport.

 

lol...for a minute there I thought someone recognized me. I was a Mod over at PCStats. I think I'll stay here a while.

 

Am a member of several, but that one isn't on the list.

 

I kinda retired from it on my own accord. I'm too old for that now.

 

Too old?
Lots here, myself included, are older than you are.

 

Yep I noticed. Kinda why I joined up. I feel young again...lol...j/k

 

Watch it, whippersnapper.
Hate to take you to the woodshed.

 

It won't be my first trip. :cry

 

Why can I believe that?:confusedrolleyes

 

Well, alot of the sense I have today is what my Dad beat into me. I guess that's a good thing. The 60s were a learning experience.

 

Got relatives in Monroe and Shreveport myself. I see you have a good sense of humor, that goes a long way here.

 

It never hurts to have one IMO. My Dad was the same way and I'm alot like he was. He left us last December at 86.

 

Wouldnt you know a thread with Texas in the title is bigger and better than the other threads in the Welcome Center .
:cool

 

What brought me here was about a year or so ago, maybe longer I was needing all sorts of things like HWmonitor, 3DMark06, etc etc etc and I always downloaded everything here and never really paid attention that there was a forum until a few months ago and started reading the threads and found alot of valuable info I needed.

 

lol...as they say........

 

Welcome Comixion.

Yes, this is probably one of the more "senior" tech sites out there, but damn good!!:wave:wave:wave

 

And I feel right at home already. I hope to get to know all you of with time and like I said, hope to be able to help a few with whatever and vice-versa. And again thanks for the big welcome.
Once I get my last piece of "new" HW in (Video card) I'll be posting pics of my rig and some benchies. I'm no Genius and still have alot to learn but I'm enjoying the hobby. That is, when the grandkids let me.
:wave

 

See how you feel when there's a "great" in front of the word grandchildren.:-D
That 1 word adds a lot of years onto a person.:cry
