Hello to all!!!

greengiantmike · 12-27-2005, 02:51 PM

Well, My name is Michael and I've been living in good ole' Louisiana for about 6 years. I love computers, even when they act insane. Hey we sometimes do it, why can't they? I would consider myself far from expert, but I've picked up a thing here or there, and I have much room for more knowledge. I am currently going to school for chemical process technology, and I've been considering doing an apprenticeship for a local tattoo shop. I am in love with tattoos, but you wouldnt know it, until I took off my shirt, LOL. Now to how I became a member of this spectacular site. I was searching the never-ending abyss of the internet for help on finding good tools to fix, and protect my computer from the many instruments of evil out there. Then I found this forum and to all delightment, my quest was over. This sight has already been more help then the self proclaimed computer-whiz that I worked with, and he came to my house to fix it. So far I have fixed 287 problems, 39 being trojans. Acquired that over the past year or so an old zone alarm firewall, an old Adware-SE, and an anti-virus program called Anti-Vir. None of which were ever updated due to the fact that I lent the computer to my siblings because I bought a laptop and had no place for my desktop. Now I have my own house and I got it back and said holey mother of god, what did those damned kids do to my computer. Well thanks to this site and everyone thats part of it, I think I am on my way to gettin this thing into shape. If not, I might just have to make a post. But, it looks like I will be able to solve my problems by following the "Read this before posting a forum" checklist. This site is awesome, and thanks. (sorry about the long introduction)
- Michael
