I dont know much about the people around here so i figured I should introduce myself:

I am originally from Iran but I live in Arkansas. I am currently a senior at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville studying electrical engineering.

Hey prashidi,

Good idea for a post.

My name is Scott. Currently I work for a large major airline in the Atlanta, GA area. I am an Aircraft Maintenance Tech. by day and a computer tinkerer by night.

I play bass guitar for our church worship team and love it. I like alot of different music from big band to hard rock.

I also agree with you about 3DS. I only started posting after I had read thru some of the forums and posts and this is probably the best site I have found.

Keep up the GREAT work 3DS Gang !!

Hey prashidi,

Guess you and I are the only ones brave enough to post here huh ??

lol, I suppose so.

I am 21 years old and live, study, work in Ghent, Belgium. I'm graduating in journalism this year after a 3-year study. Appart from school I am a way too busy man.

I am starting a new company with a revolutionary concept of building and selling PC (sssshhhhtttt, it's still kind of secret). ToRN Systems will try to make a difference in system engineering, customershelp and webdesigne. It is all in an early stage compared to what it is supposed to be, but it is a very demanding job.

I also work for PC Gameplay as a game-critic. It's not a big magazine, but the most important in Belgium and Netherland in my eyes. With 500000 pieces sold every month we are proud to be the only magazine around that can survive without any advertiser. I think this is an added value to the 'inter-subjectivity' of the magazine.

Furhter on I try to check out 3DS and do some moderation, but with my timeschedule it is very hard. Nevertheless I do as much as I can and I hope I can be an added value to the site.

I'm also a driver and have the oportunity to drive around in very nice, fast and expencive cars without buying them or pretending to buy them .

I try to help my father out in his company and do some administrative work there. Once in while I work as a steward on fairs (latest was steward at Audi on the car-fair in Brussels.)

Last but not least I have a girlfriend which I concider as a full-time job also .

I started with PC in the (recent) 386 era. I first opened the PC and wet my pants when putting in a gamecard at 12 years old. Since then I only bought bad PC's I had to fix until I build my own PC. That's how I got involved in PC assembly.

Main interest are IT, science, ... (what you can find on /. . My computer knowledge is basicly hardware oriented, but I tend to keep informed about the rest around it. I just love movies and only move my legs on true Drumm and Bass. Intelligent electronic music makes me think and I have my tought on about everything you can imagine.

I am a 26 year old sales manager for a major computer manufacturer. I have a BA in Psychology. My screen name is derived from my most favorite car yet that I have owned, a 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra. I sold it in the spring of 2000 for a BMW. Nothing can replace a Mustang Cobra.

I began my journey into computers with my Apple IIGS back in 1987. From there I upgraded to a Compuadd 386sx 16mhz which boasted a 20mb HD and a whole megabyte of memory. Armed with that beauty I headed into college with one of the fasted computers in my dorm. After spending 250.00 on an Intel external 14.4 modem I found the magical world of BBS. Castle Wolfenstein was my first FPS endeavor. With an 8 mb memory upgrade I could play Doom. Prodigy, Compuserve than AOL is what gave me my introduction to the internet. Here I am today 10 years later..

Erik
21 y.o male from Norway...

Got into computers when I was 6-7 y.o., as my best friend's parents had an 8086...

Got hooked in 3 days...

Studying at University Of Oslo. Currently taking a mandatory philosophy course (for the second time...), though I have no idea on what I'm going to study after that...

I'm on the board of the local conservative youth movement, and are very acitve there... Which is the reason I'm not going to study abroad for another year at least.... (Depending on how far up the ranks I go, the longer I postpone studying abroad)

Spends way too much time each day in front of ths 'puter, and on this board...

I drive a 1989 Saab 9000i, and have an old Volvo 144 from 1973.

And I just love alcohol...

Hi all

I'm Leon, rom Manchester, England and yes you guessed it, I spend far too much time stoned infront of my 'puter. I am an Apps and Systems trainer for a small company in Manchester. When I'm not tinkering and getting stoned, I play a lot of CS and watch Manchester United whenever I can.

cheers,

re: about me

My name is ALbert, and I am a 32 y/o university student in Newfoundland, Canada. I am recently married, and upon graduation am planning to move with my new bride to Nova Scotia. I am not much of a tecchie like most of you guys. I actually use my PC mostly for work, so I don't have a killer rig. I am drawn to this forum mainly because you get a friendly answer to your questions(most of the time).

My name is David and I'm 14 years old. I haven't recieved a degree yet but, I'm a website designer, graphic designer, programmer, and scripter. I was born in Georgia but now I currently reside in Tampa, FL. Oh, and don't ask about my screename...it's a very long and complicated story and I don't feel like typing the whole thing up. (It's also something I don't like to discuss. It's personal.)

I'm also trying to get a job on the internet and I'm not planning to work at a McDonalds. My website is www.xyz359.com. It's also not completed because I'm clueless on what to make it about. I'm gladly open to suggestions.

Also, this is my father's PC but I mostly use it (it's basically mine). It's not the best, but, whenever I can convince him to upgrade, it's all good.

Finally, I just love posting on this forum because all I get is nice people, nice and intelligent replies, it's active, and moderated greatly by the people who run it! I just love it.

(I spent all day on it today.)

Farewell!

I'm Cian, 15. I've been using PC's since I was three, but my speciality is the Hardware side, which is why I use this place for my software problems. I live in Ireland. I support Brighton and Hove Albion F.C. and Jordan Formula One. I own two slowish PCs, maily because i buiklt them out of special offer parts. I am among the group of Microsoft haters who use Windows (XP) because of the lack of Software for other OS's, though I have BeOS and a Palm 3XE. Thats about it, really!

I also spend a lot of time working on my sporting websites, links to WERE are in my signature.... D'OH... need to fix that

I enjoy hanging out with friends and meeting new people. Of course I like anything having to do with electronics or computers. I also spend most of my time on the board or the IRC channel talking to people about anything and everything. I like modding cars and listening to the music, especially at the same time. I'm going to be a Junior at Chaparral High School. Well that's all i can think of at this time.
