I found seven forums awhile ago when I was searching the web trying to figure out how to repair a problem with a PC someone gave me. I would come here and read from time to time and was captivated by Jacees amazingness. It wasn't until yesterday that I finally decided to officially join the forum and start a thread of my own. After getting a reply from Jacee I was really excited to do what she told me and I did so as soon as I could get to it. Afterward, I replied letting her know I did what she asked and would not do anything else until she told me what to do. In the meantime I started really browsing the forum since I had never done that before in the past (I usually only read the threads I was directed to from the links I found searching the web for my PC issues.)

So last night I find at the bottom of the home page of the forum that there are more forums: Vista forums, 8 forums, ad 10 forums... I never knew this. I haven't noticed a link to any of those forums before when searching online for answers to my PC problems, only this forum. Now that I've signed up here and made an account I don't want leave. Plus, my PC super hero (Jacee) is here, but I don't run widows 7.. I run the fail windows 7 version AKA windows Vista.

Does this mean I have to post my problems in the Vista forums and not here? I don't want to go there, but I also don't wat to be the jerk posting in the wrong forum. Can I post my vista problems in this forum or do I have to do the walk of shame to the Vista forum? I don't know if I can join there, it's bad enough I run Vista, I don't want to be reminded of it every time I log in to my cool new forum hang out. What do you folks think?

Awesome!!!! I see I got the okay from z3r010 and that has me pretty happy. On the other hand I am even more excited to see the information that was provided for me here. If I end up getting to upgrade this machine to windows 7 I'll be beyond happy.. I too think windows 7 OS is the best.

You guys just made my day (my wife is going to hate you) because now I get to read tutorials and geek on this PC.

:D :party: :geek:



EDIT:

In my excitement I forgot to say thank you very much for the warm welcomes and suggestions. I'm really happy I decided to finally interact here, I feel invincible with a support group like this on my side.

Very true, she loves to stream and go to all the sites that will keep me busy cleaning up her computer for a lifetime. Which reminds me, I'm supposed to run some scans on her pc and help it out today. Tutorials will have to wait for a brief minute.. a very brief minute.
