About Me

Hello! My name is Nick, Gochenour not only is my screen name, but my last, virtually giving away my identity but who gives a damn right? Anyways! I'm here because I'm having issues with stuff, and/or want to learn something or need help with computer management (often looking at stuff to download) I tend to try every possible way I know to fix my issue before going to forums like this, so don't expect to see much of me unless someone here has me hooked! Thanks for reading, I know how much you don't care, but a friendly introduction is always helpful when meeting new people.

You may want to look at on-going threads in all sections, if you have not done so already.

Enjoy just perusing, but when you can , get a little involved on anything you have already a good knowledge of- and Nick--Welcome to Major geeks.

 

I feel truly initiated, thanks for the links and will do!

I love this site first off because the community, before I joined, seemed just flat out friendly and awesome. Secondly, I found more than a quarter of my information on this very website, I learned about Razer Products, as well as a few other now large tech brands ON THIS VERY SITE (<3 Razer Kraken btw) and it's always fun passing the time downloading a bunch of random software to mess with! Hope I can learn a lot from you guys, especially since I decided to start asking questions on here (take that as a compliment, I'm MAJORLY (heh...) set out to be a lone wolf, so I only ask for help when I need it.)

 

If you are going to test programs on your computer, you could save yourself a lot of hard ship,by installing Virtual Machine(s)
You can test the programs on them, and simply delete the VM, if it gets into state. You can then install any good ones on your main Windows, if you like them.
Personally, I found Windows own version a bit of a pain- but I use Oracle Virtualbox
You willfind som intersting views, and ideas here

Glad to see that this website has served you well for so long! Hopefully it'll be the same for me. Might be using it as a resource for my senior project! x3
