Cartoonite Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 How does one become a General in this Army? What does it take to earn 1 star?What does it take to earn 2 stars?etc.? Well, reposting a question that has already been answered is a poor place to start.As gamehead already explained, the stars are linked to the number of posts a member has contributed. As he also already pointed out, we do not encourage mindless posting for the sole purpose of raising one's post-count.(Hooray, one more post for me ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I guess from some of the posts, that most of yous guys are much younger than I am.I've worked other internet forums and help rooms for the past several years, but yes, I'm new to this one.Officially, I'm retiring, but practically I'm still fixing computers like I have for the past 25 years. I had a very agressive Comodore 64 business in the early 80's. Then I got into fixing PC's,,,,the old IBM XT and AT's. Way back then, we had bulletin boards where peeps could post messages, comments and problems. It was fun, even then, to try to help someone with a problem.Well, that's the only reason I'm here. To help. One of these days I'll die and my brain will turn all green and mushy and 40 some odd years of experience as an electronics/computer tech will be Gone forever. If I can pass along some of what I've learned before that happens.....well that's a good thing. Right?Without a degree, no institute of higher learning will hire me as an instructor, so here I am.......helping out wherever I can, for FREE.Remember, the only dumb question is the one you thought too dumb to ask. So, when you're unsure, confused or just plain ignorant of something......ASK! There's always someone, somewhere who has the answer.And, this is as good a place to start as any.Cheers,Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cartoonite Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 (edited) I guess from some of the posts, that most of yous guys are much younger than I am.Yep, after reading your post, I'd say it's a safe bet that I, at least, am much younger than you.I had a very agressive Comodore 64 business in the early 80's.I also had a very aggressive business in the early 80's. We called it grade school. One of these days I'll die and my brain will turn all green and mushy and 40 some odd years of experience as an electronics/computer tech will be Gone forever. If I can pass along some of what I've learned before that happens.....well that's a good thing. Right?Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is still considered bad form to ask "When you die, can I have your brain?" right?Without a degree, no institute of higher learning will hire me as an instructor, so here I am.......helping out wherever I can, for FREE.Geez. At a bargain-basement price like that, even I can afford your fees!In all seriousness though, welcome to the community. I'm sure your wisdom and experience will be an asset to us all. And I for one am not (quite) too proud to admit that sometimes I can use all the help I can get. Edit: Oh, and I love that signature line!

Andromeda43 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Gee,,,,,and I thought no one cared. Nice to be here guys and dolls. Looks like a great bunch of folks and also a great forum.Yes, I'm definitely an old f__t, but still young at heart. I'll be glad to put my 40+ years of experience to work helping anyone I can.Y'all have a really great day now,Andromeda43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
