Hello from the middle of the US

crazijoe · 12-28-2004, 08:05 AM

Hello,
I've been on this forum for a few months and never introduced myself. I am a network admin at a booze warehouse. I look over 5 servers (2 domain controllers, file server, exchange server, webserver all with Win2K3) and about 50 work stations (WinXP). I been messing with computers for about 27 years. Starting with a Honeywell 6080 Mainframe, built a Healthkit H89 with a 8080 CPU and 16KB memory. Those were the days when you ran everything off of floppies. Nowadays, with my main job, I build, sell, service, and network PC's. I try and stay atop the cutting edge equipment but funds can only carry you so far. I have tried all types of hardware, CPUs from AMD to Zilog, Hardrives from Micropolis to WD. I have even played frisbee with 14" mainframe platters. I believe that everybody has their own opinion and I have mine. But these are mearly opinions. Just like cars, everyone has their own flavor. I like to help people with their computer problems that way I know someone is out there to aid me if I need assistance. I am glad to be a part of this forum. It seems like fun.

Greetings and salutations. Welcome to the family support center. We are glad to have you aboard. So do you get any free samples? :grin34:

I wish it was that easy. It is very hard for a consumer product that is heavily regulated by the government. I, myself, have to have a liquor license to even buy from here.

Wow, thats crazy. I know that the people at Busch Gardens down here in FL get a case of beer from Budweiser every month.

**DumberDrummer** · 12-28-2004, 01:58 PM

Only one case? That's not nearly enough!

welcome aboard!
