I go by L,
I'm a captain that works on some of the ships,
that go through the great lakes. It's a wonderful
job but not for everyone. I'm eventually getting my
United States Coast Guard captains license. Lots of work and study.
I have always loved computers and electronics; they pull me for some reason.
I had the first family computer back in 1995, been in love with Microsoft
ever since. I never cheated and gone to a mac..ever and never will.
However this being said Microsoft has no place as my cellphone.
For that I'm an android fan.
We use a lot of Microsoft components on the ships that I work on;
so it's a plus that I'm a nerd in that area.
If I had to pick a favorite it would be either XP or Win7.
As for Win 8, I hated! I'm still up in the air about Win 10.
I wanted to say a thanks for those who have already welcomed me to this lil forum family.
I thought I would drop a note to say Hi, :)
I have been into computers for close to 30 years, and have been fixing them for close to that too... all sorts of machines from the c64 & to present, these days I'm into building watercooled systems and a bit of gaming which I like to do for fun, I have serviced or repaired most things computery from printers, desktops & servers to reconfiguring routers & switches (cisco), in the past before the internet went broadband here in the uk I ran a BBS on an Amiga 4000 for a number of years...

Hey!
You can call me Adam
I game, I build computers and I do graphical editing for fun, I've been hooked with computing since I first met my Grandmother's beige beast back in 2005, I hadn't seen a computer since then as I was only a young one.. Played card games, crazy taxi and quake all at about 8FPS.
I got my first laptop when I was 13 I used it for as you would assume a 13 year old would, Minecraft back in 2011. I used to prowl on youtube when I finally found out it wasn't spelt "Utub" as I couldn't find it on the google search index back then without properly spelling it and I got really comfortable with my computer, started doing some Java a bit of HTML here and there. I then found out about GFX or Graphical editing, I downloaded photoshop, cinema 4D and AE the only way I knew how, I studied them I used them daily and I became a semi-decent GFX artist with a Pentium processor, I still gamed quite often and around the age of 15 I found out about League of Legends and from there I played a lot of it, with friend, without it didn't matter.
I have no built my own dream PC with an i7 - 6700k and a GTX 1080 after saving for my 18th birthday since I was 15, I now am a competitive CSGO player, being Supreme and working my way to some day the pro scene.
I still do graphical editing but I don't have as much as a passion for it as I used to, I do some small work for friends without charge and that's about it.
I joined this forum to share my knowledge I've picked up over the years and help people problem solve, whatever the issue. I hope I fit into the community well :)
Thanks for reading, have a good day!
Hi all from Toronto Canada suburbs, here to ask a not so uncommon question, hoping to get help and to stay after too.
