Title: Hey, a new geek has come to play!
Post by: Frempt92 on October 30, 2008, 12:27:28 PM: Hey!

I'm 16 years old and I got into geeky stuff a bit over a year ago. It started with WoW, then I got into computers through that, and now I'm at college studying them.

About 2 months ago I bought my self a Notebook Laptop, the Acer Aspire 7520. It had an AMD 1.8Ghz processor, 1Gb DDR2 RAM, 80Gb hard drive, and an NVIDIA Geoforce 7000M graphics card (384Mb). It has a nice 17" screen, and some nice built in features.

Unfortunatly, it's running on Vista so 1Gb RAM wasn't nearly enough. I upgraded to 2Gb which runs as smooth as I can imagine (I spend £330 and my mate spends £500 and Iend up with more RAM than him :) so my Laptop is pretty decent for the moment.

Apart from geeky stuff, I'm into Guitar, Biking, Trombone, Scooting, Cars, and any kind of music.

That's about me.

James.

When I read the title, I thought the new geek was/is ghey.

Ok, I'm lost.

Post by: kanca mosan on October 30, 2008, 03:24:47 PM: I was reiterating you.
Title: Re: Hey, a new geek has come to play!
Post by: ivan on October 30, 2008, 03:33:32 PM: First you say, "I am goint to be completely honest with you. When I read the title, I thought the new geek was/is ghey."

Then you reiterate me.

I still don't get it.

Title: Re: Hey, a new geek has come to play!
Post by: Demosthenes on October 30, 2008, 03:40:26 PM: Interpret that however you will.
Title: Re: Hey, a new geek has come to play!
Post by: kanca mosan on October 30, 2008, 03:41:59 PM: I am going to interpret that in a manner that means you totally regret posting that, and that you would like to pay me $100 for making me feel bad about myself. :roll:

Post by: Frempt92 on October 31, 2008, 05:43:42 AM: This has alot to do with me... I'm sure you guys get alot of new members since you treat them all so nicely, and give them a nice welcoming commitee.

And also, what would it matter if I was gay? I'm not, but you say it like it would be a dasterdly bad thing. I joined this forum hoping to meet some nice people, but I guess I came to the wrong place.

Was it DarkShade's glasses or the giant Windows icon?

Post by: kanca mosan on October 31, 2008, 09:04:12 AM: Just to answer his question, I do not recalling saying a word about ghey being a bad thing. I was just pointing out what I noticed. Please correct me if I am wrong.
