    Hey all. I am new and completely self-taught (I hear this is frowned upon=/) member here. The inspiration for my new found passion of sourcing (not sure if that is the right reference) came from my BF slowly but surely almost 100% locking/blocking out any history tracing----- hardware and software side. Everything from the simple IE history all the way down to event viewers is adjusted, unavailable, coded……..you name it. This is now a challenge to me!!!!! I have always been a seeker regardless of what is at the end of the rainbow (so to speak) if it is being hidden I want to find it LOL. Anyway, I am now just wanting to learn, I find it all very interesting, I feel like being able to read "comp language/source” and navigate the internet/computer is becoming almost as necessary as knowing the language of the country you are in. Anyway this is an awesome site and cant wait until I have more time to follow up on my first email.

    See ya


    :)

    Welcome to MGs.:)

    As far as the self taught, I'm not sure where it's frowned upon, but you definitely can't say that here.

    Hope to see you join in.

    Yup, self-taught is fine, we tend to learn more by our own mistakes than we would from some theoretical texts any way - especially when those texts are pumped out by the purveyors of software that want to hide the secret inner workings from us.

    Welcome aboard :)

    Self taught is one of the best ways to go!

    Hi Cris

    And Self Taught is not frowned upon here as many of us are, although many of us have quals in computing we do not care for your level of expertise, we will adjust our replies accordingly.

    Seekers of info are great in my mind as that is the only way to further our experience and knowldge so must be a good thing?

    I hope you joing in on the forum and have fun.

    Hi Cris

    Nah whoever and if they are a member here said that "self taught" is frowned upon here is mistaken as we have always since I became a member and I'm member #8 we have always been geared to help anyone, novice to pro, we dont care what your levele of experience is as we can cater for all.

    The only thing we dont like is a pretender who googles every answer to look smart.

    So you have nothing to fear and I hope your PC is up and running soon so you can join us again.
