So I guess it’s time to introduce myself. I am 33 years old, yeah I know, I am a dinosaur lol. I am from Maine, the land of lobster and snow. I have been on computers since before it was cool to know about computers… read that as just about Pre-Bill Gate, monochrome monitors and back when floppy disks were still floppy, and for anyone that has no clue what a floppy disk is, just smile, nod and pretend :-P. I am fairly knowledgeable of computers and when I don’t know something I try places like this board and good old google to figure it out. I guess that is about it lol, never really know what to say about myself, but look forward to being around here more.
October 7, 2007 at 6:55 pm #164721Leapy LeoMemberDon’t be deceived Ailindah, you’re no dinosaur, I’m sure the average age of the site is higher than you suspect, [although I have no intention of sitting down and working it out!] for example I am 47 and I certainly remember floppy discs back when I had my first computer in the 90s.
Look forward to seeing you around.

October 7, 2007 at 6:59 pm #164718PolarBearNPRParticipantHi Ailindah – and welcome to the BigBlueBall. This is a great place to find answers and maybe even questions! If you ever have a computer, IM or other problem, search these forums first! You’ll be amazed at the vast knowledge base here.
As a side note . . . I read you had gotten lost in WoW for a bit . . . hehe what a great place to lose oneself. And I too am from the olden days of actual floppies (5 1/4″) and remember when we got a hard drive that was twice as big as my current tower and sounded like a helicopter landing and had to be on a special platform to reduce vibration and heat. Ahhhh – we’ve come a long way baby!
October 7, 2007 at 8:57 pm #164723AilindahParticipantYeah lost in WoW for 2 years, oye what a headache. Someone recommended it to me as a way to help quitting smoking, well not only did I continue dumping money into cigarettes I dumped $15 USD a month into WoW, lol, what a huge loss. Anywho, the game is uninstalled now, on the basis that to install WoW and BC and all the updates is more headache than it is worth, 3 months I’ve lived up to that, let’s see how long it lasts… lol
October 8, 2007 at 1:00 am #164719PhilipModeratorWelcome to BBB, Ailindah. Heh, I’m 47 by the way. So you’re just a baby dinosaur.
October 8, 2007 at 12:58 pm #164722Doris KenneyParticipantGlad you found BBB! And 33 is no dinosaur – trust me!! I remember floppy floppies, monochromes & when dot matrix were the best printer around (far superior to those old daisy wheels!!) I used to play with punch cards as toys when I was small….now that makes me feel old!! Welcome to the forums – this is truly a wonderful community of people and we look forward to your contributions and questions.

And welcome to the BigBlueBall, Ailindah!
