Hello there

I am new to posting/communicating online, but not with technology. so if I do something that is incorrect or not exceptible please let me know. and my spelling sucks, but you will understand me.

I am in my forties a male from midwest USA, been in computers for 25+ years, have my own company, competeing with Geek Squad....and the like.

What is this site mainly used for?
I got here via stumble which is a great plugin for firefox. I read Gizmo's post on open hard drive surgery, which I have done myself, not as involved though I just had stuck platters.(No part swapping). I think we were both lucky though, getting data back that is. most of the time arn't these done in "clean rooms"?
anyway I have arrived.
ChicanoD

Greetings ChicanoD. Welcome to our little corner of paradise; hope you enjoy your stay.

This site is a technology enthusiast site. We focus primarily on computers; how to get the most performance out of them, how to make them more useful to us, etc. However, pretty much any technology is fair game.

Welcome to our cyber kingdom, where ponies are made of cotton candy, where every mountain can be climbed, and where everything smells of honey and/or old people.

Mainly old people.
