Dont be shy

I am just a newbie to this site myself, but I must tell all newcomers, that Major Geeks is the best resource sight on the net. The whole sight ROCKS, the people who inhabit this domain are great. The Knowledge and great info I have gained from this site in just the past month are to numerous to mention here. So I to welcome you to a fabulous site, and please treat your fellow Geeks as kindly and courteously as I have been treated, there great people. Remeber your problems solution is just a post away on MG.

 

Wow, the service around here is fantastic!

Well, I'll give a little recap and extended bio for the thread -

My name is Heather. I'm a computer technician and I write a sassy column that has very little to do with technology, but is supposed to.
When looking to release the pent up energy from supporting ppl all day, I beat b*ches on skates. Which is why I founded a Roller Derby league.

I do bite.
(but you'll like it.)

 

oh and I'm married. He's a 3D animator and doesn't let me bite strangers...y'all are prolly lucky.

 

Welcome to Major Geeks Heather Ann!

 

Touch me I bite

 

Hmmm im not new but w/e, ill give everyone a lil info on me:

My name is Andrew, Im a junior in high school, and according to my parents i spend way too much time on the computer In a few years im planning on majoring in computers, not exactly sure what field tho, possibly computer science, repair etc.

Love this site, its my home away from home Learned a lot of sweet things. W00T!

 

Just to reinforce what has already been said, this is the BEST Forum on the "Net" for fast, reliable help, I'm retired and have only been a computer user for 6 years, I'm pretty much self taught about computing and with the help I've received here since joining MG's have gained enough confidence to start a "build" for my own computer, of course with "much" help from long time Major Geeks -

It's a GREAT Family, join in !!!!!

I'm 38 and have only been using modern computers (had Amiga 500) for about 6 years didn't even know what internet or google was at this time and gave my mate a strange look when he said it me (I'll google you, lol). Anyway bought my first New Computer August last year and was just an owner at that stage, started experiencing overheating alarms and have evolved from there.

This is the BEST REFRENCE/RESOURCE SITE THERE IS, I am a recently Graduated Scientist who has been awarded paid scholarships, not sounding my own horn but implying I'm not a silly bugger and don't make above statement lightly!!!!

 

Hi, I've been on Major Geeks for a couple months, but have never formally introduced myself.

I'm Shanna, married with two little girls (2 1/2y and 6mths) and live in Australia. Not much of a tech really, fairly basic computer knowledge, but willing to learn what I can and keen to look after my computer myself (I originally found MG'd trying to find out how to fix a malware problem) - only problem being most ppl that Iknow who "know" how to do the stuff, can't be bothered sharing it or just think I wouldn't get it(or don't really know as much as they make out lol).

It's so great that everyone here is happy to help even when you ask really dumb (I'm sure they are dumb) questions and are willing to spell it out to you even when you haven't got the faintest idea. So thank-you to everyone I've dealt with!! You've all been fantastic.

I think I feel too stupid to feel entirely at home here yet, but hopefully that will come.

Thanks again!!
Smiles!
Shanna

hi my name is Gentry im a novic at all things computer's came here to learn and plain on building my first pc (gaming pc) as soon as i can afford it so in the mean time i spend my time learning as much as i can.

 

Don't have to be a good student, I was shocking until I went back and studied at 33 something I love (Environmental Science), I wasn't the smartest but worked on building sites for years and thus knew how to work hard and applied this attitude to my studies. You have excelled here MA and I must take my hat off to you and if this was any sort of academic degree (website for geeky info) you would have excelled with bestowed Honours

 

Here, here!!

 

Bad breath according to your avatar......





Thanks for a great site MA!!

 

Well I can't see it anymore(why is that?), but I love your Dr Suess quote BoredOutOfMyMind.

 

Hey MA I echo all the rest, you guys have done a fantastic job..........by the way up here in the Great White North we call crumb crunchers.....Rug Rats.

 

If you're saying you can't see the avatars, you may have them turned off in your "User CP".

 

Or if you mean signatures it's in the same place.

 

Down under, we call kids, a liability or a mistake.

 

What's your phone number, I can pass it on to people I know?

 

I have to agree with all of the above this is the greatest site I always know when I post a problem I will get great help I congratulate the owners on a wonderful job keep up the good work, this Granny really appreciates you. RobynR

 

Hey MA, it must have been those years behind the wheel, or maybe the strange glow from the monitor, but me thinks times are a changing………………but gasp not our MA……..Hey Bro say it isn’t so LOL

 

just to reiterate what has already been said, this is a great site. if you are a newbee don't worry about looking foolish, believe me you cant ask any dumber questions than i already have! i have had a puter now for two years and don't really know much more now than i did then, however all my problems and queries are answered with patience, respect and kindness. welcome all and much aloha from the islands.

 

Hi, folks, since no one's being shy I thought I'd say hello too. It's great to find such a friendly community of people interested in helping each other.

 

Just an observation but it seems that a majority of the people here are from Australia, Canada, and the UK? Whats up with that? lol And i thought the US had a lotta geeks...

 

Yes it was signatures,

Well that is so very weird! Don't know how or when I did that, but thanks. All better now.

Smiles!
