Because I don't believe in pressing my views on other people....

In your mind, does your introduction post count as an Tech Support Question?

Or...

Are you introducing yourself as a confused man with an IT degree and using the post as an example?

If the former... click here

If the later... Welcome!

If neither, ignore me completely and consider the fact that I really couldn't help you either way.

Not really.  I think it means he is from Sudan and that is the translation.

That or he had an above knee amputation.

Apparently not wise enough.

You have a "diploma in IT"? Did they let you skip English before giving you that piece of paper they call a diploma?

Furthermore, are you trying to bamboozle us by asking tech-related questions when any true geek would build their own system from scratch using parts they acquired from online retailers such as Newegg or Mwave?

I'm sorry, but the number you have dialed is imaginary. Please rotate the phone by 90 degrees and try again.
