Hi Everybody
« on: May 18, 2012, 06:27 AM »
Well, I've just relised that I've been a member of this forum for about a month now, and I haven't even bothered to introduce myself.  I know, I know how rude of me?

Well, better late than never!

Hi, I'm DarkGuyver and I'm an alcoholic.... HAHAHA just kidding.  I thought I would add a little humour to my introduction.

DarkGuyver, as some of you will probably relise from my screen name, I am a fan of the Guyver anime/manga francise. 

I found this forum, while searching for more Tess Gerritsen (yes, I watch Rizzoli & Isles) eBooks for my Sony PRS-350 eReader, which I got a couple of months ago.  But found a surprisingly large amount of books for my eReader, which I am honestly thankfull for.

Besides reading, I like watchin action, sci-fi, thriller movies and TV shows.  I'm a martial artist, I'm a 3rd degree black belt in Shotokan Karate, and I currently study Lin Kuei martial arts (a Chinese martial art, which is the ancester of Japanese Ninjitsu).  I'm a videogamer, I'm a fan of Street Fighter, Bayonetta, God Of War, Soul Calibur, House Of The Dead, and the Need For Speed games (in particular the Underground series, and Most Wanted).

I'm very knowledgable about computers so if you have any questions about computers or computer related problems post a topic and I will see what I can do for ya.  I'm also a technology nut, so any related technology discuss are game.

I hope to meet some new friends here and share some of my collection of eBooks which may be of interest to others.

Yeah, I remember the 5 1/4" ... they really were floppy ...  :)

Yeah, no kidding.  My college lecturer saw a guy at a computer fair get one for free, fold it and put it in their shirt pocket.   ;D

You have to stop and remember how long people hold on to technology.  If their favorite programs were on 8 inchers they would have an 8 inch drive.  Since you had to load windows on top of DOS [DOS had to be running first], you could use those with no problem.  DOS stayed basically the same.  XP is the one who put an end to that.  Frustrating as hades because you couldn't get out of windows into DOS any more.

I thought you had a storm moving in ... that's the way it usually hits with us here.  But we're supposed to get 4-6 inches through tomorrow.  Our first snow this year (other than a trace) ... go figure.

Not us.  I'm in South Central PA right up against the Allegheny Mountains.  It's been passing us by for which I'm grateful.

It's going to be bad for you.  Accuweather is calling it a Drought breaking snow.  You are going to get hammered so get ready ok?

Yeah, it's really sad when we're looking forward to the snow because it's so dry ... the dew point this morning was 7%.  I gotta say, too, it wouldn't break my little heart to not being able to go to work in the morning!  I hit the grocery store yesterday (which was absolutely crazy) and I have my book, computer and blanket, so we're all set!

They are saying we might get 0.03 inches of snow and 0.04 inches of ice when it hits us.  Of course they have been wrong before.  I figure anywhere from bright sunshine to 3 feet.

I kinda feel bad about not going to work but we'd be digging through snowbanks most of the morning and then my Focus would probably get stuck in town!  (We live outside the city ... I call it the semi-country....)   Gee darn, I'll just have to stay home .... >:D

Yeah, it'd be a great day to go sledding, but it's such a pain to find a hill sometimes ... we're in Kansas and for the most part it's flat.  'Course, in the country they've been known to take a old hood of a truck and tie it to a truck or 4-wheeler and use it for sledding ...
