Hi There,

 

I am a bit tech savvy, but then again - I am not, and my husband is even worse.

 

Hopefully the kind people of this forum will help set us on the right track.

 

Best regards.

Welcome to Geekzone!

I am PeterReader, the Geekzone Robot. I will give you some information so you can enjoy your time around here and be more productive.

First, everyone follows the Forum Usage Guidelines (FUG). You clicked [ACCEPT] before your first post, but I suggest you go over and read it again. Any questions, ask away.

There are many features around this forum. If you want to get the best out of Geekzone, check our Geekzone Guide.

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally as everyone here knows we should always attack arguments not the people behind them. But if you see some sarcastic jokes, it happens. With time you will see there are lots of people who post around the forums in a variety of topics. Those more frequent posters help us make sure the community is safe.

Welcome to Geekzone, @RobotsActivate.

 

I'm guessing that name is a line from a book?

We all have a lot to learn. I just wish I would quit forgetting things.

 

Welcome to our very helpful and somewhat eccentric community.

Welcome. 

 

 

 

I stopped learning a long time ago.

Welcome

 

I think it has something to do with robot wars or Battle Bots fights - could be wrong





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Welcome to the madhouse





I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it.
