Welcome Aboard Mac, you have posted, but I have yet to moderate your post. This is an anti spam device. When you signed up it did tell you that your first post(s) may not appear immediately.

mAc, except for Dr. Lector and myself, "weird" is a good description for many forum members. And their posts. It just takes some time to get used to the navigation and procedures. Don't sweat it. This is one of the most informal and useful forums around.

First posts are so special that us mods keep them so we can read them in secret first. We frame the good ones to hold over members heads at a later date.
But seriously it's due to some idiots thinking we really need that crap V*agra and its 1 600 000 000 000 ways to spell it.
Hope you find your way around ok. I'm sure I asked Guts3d to oil up the lamps along the corridors.
and slgrieb..speak for yourself on that "weirdness" you mention. you leave my posts alone
My posts alway have good views

Welcome,JamieS.You seem to be doing things the correct
way,trial and error.
I started off in 1999 with a Gateway E4200 which I still use.
It was a slot 1 Pentium II 450 mhz.
It now has a Slot 1 socket 370 adaptor and a Lin-Lin FCPGA to FCPGA2
adaptor. Which is a 1000mhz Tualatin.
Was 128 MB ram now 512 MB ram.
Anyway.....Welcome again always good to have a new member.

Get em while there young I say! Learning the old stuff like this Jamie is the best way to really learn what's going on in there. If you go into certification you will smirk at some of the things they teach given your experience... but although real life and what is taught in the classroom doesn't always mesh together nicely, the combination of doing your certs and the experience of rebuilding and making one good out of several bad will make you a much better tech.
Remember the only dumb question is the one that isn't asked. If you are learning and you don't know the answer, then ask. It doesn't matter how trivial it might seem.
The other thing I have learned (apart from my signature at the bottom) is that the answer to a user's question is inversely proportional to the length of the question.... Enjoy learning.

Welcome aboard! The only advice I have for you is one I learned the hard way. When troubleshooting, keep a pen and paper handy and write down what you did that didn't work. That way, you won't waste time trying things over and over, like I did whan I started computers.
