Hello everyone and sorry for posting my "please help me" thread in the
pc "other" forum before I formally introduced myself and thanked everyone for inviting me in. My name is Richard and I brought home a compaq presario 1630nx about ten days ago. I've been away from computers for quite a long time (since prodigy in the early nineties and before that I was one of the kids strapping a 300-baud modem to a telephone receiver to cruise the bbs boards with my commodore 64). It's a long time to be away, but since high-speed dial-up alternatives have only been out for a couple of years, I actually wasn't missing all that much internet-wise. I'm trying to catch up on computer technology as quickly as possible and still can't believe the things I'm seeing, like 45,000-ft-range wireless routers and usb hard drives shaped like ballpoint pens and swiss army knives. I mostly use my computer for surfing the web and goofing around. I'll definitely by swinging by the site often, asking questions and hopefully contributing as well. Thanks again and, by the way, swing by the
pc forum and give me your opinion on my lightscribe problem.
