Hi everyone

I'm glad to have stumbled across this NZ forum while googling to solve a laptop problem :-)

I enjoy mucking around with computers, but am not technically trained, so spend a lot of time on forums looking for answers!  For the last several years, almost seven I think, I've been using Linux as my main stream computer OS.  I do maintain a Windows machine also, as there's one or two things I still use there, although I'm about to embark on the virtual world journey and install WinXP in a Virtual Box app on my Linux computer.

To pay the mortgage I work as a nurse in a Medical ward at the local hospital.  I also enjoy gardening, reading, wine, food, friends, tramping/hiking, and having fun.

Nice to meet you all :-)
