A gentleman called James May, once said, "You have to start with hello" so here it goes...

Hello.

My name is Rafael Santos, and i'm from Portugal.

I'm a Amateur Photographer, Car Enthusiast, Computer Guru (mostly HW part) and a huge Coffee Addict.

Been following LTT on youtube since 500k subs, and for some reason I only decided to register in the forum a few weeks ago. And I just realized what mistake I did, for not doing it earlier.

I've been working on pc's since i was 8, and i learned a lot about them by reading articles on magazines, and on internet (yes the old 56k connection was amazing...not quite ). Yeah i'm from the time were you had to use jumpers to set the master and sleeve on a HDD and optical drives, and many other annoying stuff that was used back then. (at least the games weren't as annoying as today ones imo).

For the info, my 1st PC was a Pentium 3 800mhz "coppermine" with 384mb of ram, Geforce 2 GTS and a 20gb HDD.

I could go on, but nevermind, i'm going to end here my little presentation.

 

Cheers

xD Anyone who quotes James May is A-OK in my books. Welcome to the forum!

Oh man. Don't even get me started with the jumpers. It's amazing to see how far we've come in a relatively short time. Cell phones even more so; I still remember my first phone had a limit of how many numeric entries you could store in the memory! And now we have PCs on us at all times.

 

You had a Pentium? Baller. I had a 486.

Welcome to the insanity! I'm pretty new as well and wishing i had been on here ages ago

Insanity is not the absence of sanity, but the willingness to ignore it for a purpose. Chaos is the result of this choice. I relish in both.
