its reminds me of good memories

Jadawin · Feb 9, 2010

Hi there, I think I do qualify as an old fart - I'm 40 (that's decimal) and I have been fiddling around with computers for 26 years now. Totally self-educated with no certifactes or qualifications and still working in the IT area for more than a decade now at companies like NEC, Lionhead Studios and Microsoft. But I'm a freelance writer (PC and PC games related) for almost 3 years now and loving it. Oh, and I'm German but moved to England in 2003 for my job at Lionhead Studios and will apply for British Citizenship this year.

DavidV · Feb 9, 2010

Where i guess i will join to.

regexorcist · Feb 10, 2010

Remember TV...

I know. That makes for me 3 times older than you? Strange the friends you make on the internet. Still, I hope you don't hold it against me.

Agreed! I learn so much from the all the people on TPU. I've been doing this since before Intel PC's, and it never ceases to amaze me when I learn something new and valuable from a teenager. (Which, BTW, there are several lurking in this thread.)

Zebeon · Feb 10, 2010

Triprift · Feb 10, 2010

Oh yeah and all the fancy blue rays and dvds players in my day we had a vhs player with a remote with a big long cord.
