Wow all these gurus with humble beginnings.

Perhaps, there's hope for me yet...

Would like to contribute more but need to learn more first. I am the black 'techno' sheep of my family.

The beauty of this place is, that while you are learning, you can always still kick back and contribute in other ways. It doesn't always have to be of a technical nature.

So Black Sheep away

I have been using various beta versions and then RC since early January. Found the Seven Forums when googling answer to a very annoying issue with disappearing Start Menu programs. That time, the answer was found not here but in Microsoft TechNet forums. Anyway, I stayed because of the vaste amount of information I found.

I was later very satisfied when I could share the solution here (All Programs is gone.. Again).

I always tell my family, they got the brains and I got the looks and charisma

I'm content being the black sheep anyway... can never be anything else when your dad was the one who created http://centrebet.com originally

I came here for help with a problem with my display on Windows 7 ( Choppy Windows in Windows 7? ). 5 months later, I'm still here. Been inactive for a while though =[

But an excellent , excellent forum.

I came here after a new computer build in July with Windows 7 RC1 and was having a problem with high random access speeds on my new box and a Seagate 7200.12 hard drive. (was seeing around 25-40ms). After discussing it with many here and doing everything imaginable..I simply put the 7200.12 in another machine at home and got a Western Digital Caviar black and was getting the 13ms speeds I was expecting.

I came to vista with multiple problems, the fix I found here. Win 7. stayed because of the staff knowledge and learned.

I came to windows 7 via Google search. I was having problems viewing other pcs on my network. Everyone was so friendly and was willing to help me out as much as they could. I have learned so much about win 7 and thankful for it.

Special thanks to Ken(georgy) for helping me get used to the forum and troubleshooting well everything!

I came because I needed help with an explorer.exe stability issue, and then decided to stay because everyone here was friendly, and I thought I might be able to contribute.
