I found these forums 3 years ago this month. I had my desk in front of an open window at the time, and had gone off to work.
It was a nice spring day and the house had been closed up all winter, what the hell.
It started raining and by the time I got home my new 1 ghz athlon machine had gotten soaked inside and out.
I didn't turn it on, but dragged the old pentium 600 out and started searching for a place that would tell me what to do about it. I thought it was RUINED.
I found the TSG forums, and a lady named AcaCandy told me to dry it out a few days and fire it up to see what happened.
Well, after a few tries the machine fired up and ran until just recently when a power supply and a motherboard went out together and I retired it. I still steal a part from it now and then.
To get to the end of this story I hang here when I can, but that time is getting short again. Summer and the hot weather mean long days for a guy that works heat and air conditioning, and the bed is always waiting when I do get home. I am a winter member more than summer, but I do like the people here. They have all been good to me.
Thanks folks.:up:
