I joined some time ago with a random question, but now look forward to a bit of community participation.

I am forever optimistic in my attempts to deliver the slickest, trickest and quickest home/small business network, despite the obvious handicaps of wanting to use hardware that really isn't up to the job combined with technical knowledge that is more enthusiastic than it is competent.

I hope I can contribute in helping answer questions relating to design software and issues (if there are any here) and sadly i have to confess to knowing excel and publisher (what?) to a level that could seem obsessive even in a tech forum.

My questions are likely to be related to networking, and particularly in squeezing performance from older kit - I don't think anyone would call me a hippy, but I do think the rapid obsolescence and junking of hardware is obscene, and often unnecessary.

I decided upon tenforums as in googling a few techy queries in recent days, the results from your forums seem to indicate a wider acceptance of varying skill levels than some others.

Why write all this when 'thanks for the add' would suffice? I'm a newspaper editor, output of text is my business.

Welcome (back) to Ten Forums.

Yes, Ten Forums is friendly and welcoming to users all levels of skill/experience. It's not for nothing that Brink's signature says "There are no dumb questions, just the people who do not ask them".

And yes, some of us do like to give old kit the longest possible lease on life...

Hi gibbsyns3, and welcome to Ten Forums!

Welcome to TenForums @gibbsyns3,

"older kit" must be a phrase from the other side of the pond - I'm not familiar with.

@James,
007, maybe you can explain
