damm i never win anything, maybe next time! crazy to see so many people work in the I.T industry come here, its a good thing it means we dont all talk a load of rubish.what i would say is maybe for next time is if australia gets its own choice europe should be broken up a little as there are 750million people in europe and only 20million in australia.

how many people have we got using tpu everday?

Awesome and well done Mauro. What did he win?

Yes, I dont work in the IT industry ( I forgot to do the survey ) but I deal with computers on a daily basis.

Oh and I visit TPU at least 10 times a day if not more

Excellent! Gotta love seeing stuff like this. I find it very interesting how evenly spread the NA/EU stats are.

Was in nearly all of the biggest pies, now I don't feel special

On a different note, where can I change the TPU logos back to stars under the user name? I looked around the settings but just didn't see it. And why are some of us with TPU logos and some with stars. Did everyone with stars really change them back, or some of us just got them for some reason?

W1zz is testing it out with people who have 6 stars (which turn into 6 TPU symbols). Everyone else stays the same - when you go to 7 stars (if its still in trial) you will go back to stars.

Back on topic, congrats to the winner and an excellent and interesting source of info for TPU demographics. Great idea and job W1zzard!

Hello everyone!

I am Mauro of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

My previous user was lost, so I went back to sign up to be able to thank W1zzard and all users who congratulated me.

Whenever I visit the page for hardware reviews and news on hard.

Not much use the forum because my English is not very good, now I am using "google translator," jejejeje!

Many thanks to W1zzard and all users TechPowerUp!

Greetings!

Mauro.
