Hey, a new geek has come to play!
« 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.

I am going to be completely honest with you.

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

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.

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:
