Hello all,
Been around here quite awhile now, about
[censored] time I say hello
Always as willing to give my advice and time for you guys, I've certainly had and WILL HAVE plenty in the future.
Friends call me me Andy, Blackleather, and/or BK. You may all do the same here.
Couple of things about me - I noticed the help wanted sign by Wiz and have offered help in almost anything the site needs, from being a moderator, writer, or just all around guru of useless information. Staff or no, hardly matters if you need help - just ask. I am very knowledgeable with IT in general, and a super fast learner. I say that last part for this reason...
IF YOU ASK ME A QUESTION, YOU WILL ALWAYS GET AN ANSWER, SO BE PATIENT. IN THAT CONTEXT KNOW THIS AS WELL. COMPUTERS ARE US THESE DAYS. I GET IT! I KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO GO WITHOUT A COMPUTER EVEN FOR A HALF DAY. OUR LIVES, HOWEVER SMALL OR LARGE, ARE IN THESE THINGS (SAD ISN'T IT). SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS, YOU'LL GET A CORRECT ANSWER FROM ME OR A BOTTOM LINE ADMISSION OF NOT KNOWING THE ANSWER TO SOMETHING. YOU WILL NEVER GET A GUESS.
(CAPS WAS ME NOT YELLING< JUST MAKING A POINT
All that being said, is the MAIN reason I have come to love this particular site. Everyone from what I have seen here does a super good job about stating help in the proper context - ie: "Don't know, might be 3 things... Make sure to back up that drive first, etc..." or "Go ahead if you insist, but there's a 98% chance your gonna brick that...."
Wow, long winded sorry, look forward to meeting you all and helping the errant traveler from creating expensive paper weights.
Peace, BK
