Sanjo: Welcome! I'm very new here, as well. But I"m old and grumpy

. I can tell you are on the "younger" side of middle age, so I want to offer a little advice- On tech forums like this, you will encounter many, many people you probably wouldn't normally interact with. People a generation (or two, or even three) older than you, and with perhaps decades of experience in the computer world. For the most part, they (myself included) are a jaded lot. They have seen fads and gimmicks come and go, and they've been squeezing every cycle they can from 286s on up to bleeding edge components.
This is a very civilized forum, and I'm very happy I found it. Your original post was met with some criticism, but I think it was all because of that one word:
jealous. I know it rubbed me the wrong way, but I usually never comment in threads that I just
know will get me riled up.
This thread is the closest I've seen to an argument, and I am relieved to see that the situation is diffused now, with no harm done. And as you will see, this is an excellent resource if you are serious about Do It yourself computers.
