Thanks To All!


I only now joined this terrific site and being completely computer illiterate, I just want to say "Many Thanks!" to all of you for the wealth of information that at the age of 57, has just opened up a whole new world to me! Due to an accident at work some years back, I'm pretty much stuck at home and my old computer is now my link to the world! I'm using a friend's computer for a little while and am hoping that through this site I'll soon have my own up and running once more! Again, I thank you!

Re: Thanks To All!

Hey Nrthnbkr!!


Welcome to PCWorld Community!


I don't think you are that computer illiterate, after all , you did find this site!


You couldn't of chosen a better community to join.


You can ask as often as you like and all will do our best to help.


It's always nice to welcome a new member to join our ranks.


We, for the most part, all started about the same way ( although, some here were born with a PC in their hands ).

It's by asking questions , getting you're issues resolved and by reading other threads , that you too, will get

the "bug" for helping others.


I think all of us get a good feeling out of this very principal.


There's always room for another member and especially their opinions and insights.


So, with that I welcome you to PCWorld Community.


FLASHORN.


Patience is life.

Hi Jim, Welcome to the forums. Glad you found us as this place can become a habit. You are right in one thing and that is, it is a good learning experience. I have picked up a lot since being here. Any questions you may have just post and I can assure you, there'll be no shortage of helpful answers. I'm retired on a VA Non-service connected disability pension, so spend a lot of time here and enjoy it. Coastie65

Re: Thanks To All!
Hey Kellie, When he posted, he said he was having an issue with his computer and was using a borrowed one. I just ran across his post on that. Lincoln got there before I did with some good info. I think we'll get his computer up and running. coastie
