Donno if I'm allowed to double post here, just noticed something:

Old intros:
Well im new here. I guess that sums it up.

New intros:
Hey folks, just joined.
So, to intro...
First of all im a noob, and havent really messed with computers since i put a Righteous Orchid 1 meg card in many years ago. Back then i thought it was amazing, and in some ways i still do. I think the system i had was a Pentium 75, and i took it to bits so many times my girlfriend thought i was a genius, heh. Something like 20 years on ide love to dismantle the one i have now but i dont think its a good idea somehow. But maybe i will if i could find enough room to lay everything out like i used to.
Most of my time during the day is spent drawing with an old version of CAD, and i get completely lost inside a whole nother world. I have drawn requests that have been built, and built my drawings too. Back when i was a plater i knocked together the sheltering for Farnborough Airport in the UK, with the help of a good friend who took a hand in the PepsiMax in Blackpool. A boxing champion in his younger days i might add, whose wisdom is quite remarkable.
Basically im a steel engineer but have great respect for computer engineers, and those that know their stuff, that i never used to(excuse the honesty). Not suprising in reason for my interest in computers and how my life has panned out as it were, is when i came across a game on the ZX Spectrum. Atic Attack i think it was called, and then later Sim City which i still play from time to time, to tweak. Atic Attack grabbed me instantly because i tried to visualise the whole place. Sim City, later 4 is just an awesome building game for me, and i hope they bring it into the technology thats available today.
Well thats about it for intro i guess relating to computers and such. Im glad to be here and hope to learn alot, and perhaps help others if i may. Im quite new to forums, terms and jargon, as well as those used in computing. I have a personal drawback where sometimes i need step by step instruction on how to do things which i hope will not offend. I am a very black and white person with a taste for complex if that makes sense.
So heres me

PS: no offence intended to anyone, just an observation. THIS IS NOT A TROLL POST.
