I'm replacing you all with perl bots. This is merely gathering some information in case they are questioned.

Re: Get to know: The Techie Talk folks
I know pretty much everything there is to know about Macintosh System 7.5
Sadly I know very little about more recent versions
(But I guess that's because by and large you don't NEED to know anything )

However, I've been thinking about buying a cheap windows laptop just because I think it's ridiculous that I have no idea whatsoever how PCs work... So I expect to become quite a regular in this forum, asking questions like "where's the power buton" and such like

I'd not bother. Windows is pish.

It'll just make you appreciate Macs all the more

They're both as pish as each other! macs are only slightly better but I wonder if OSX would be able to cope if it was in the same situation as Windows? I for one thought OSX (macs) were so much better than windows when I first got one, but having had it for a while now I have plenty of complaints and annoyances.

Al is doing his bit to diminish the Mac community’s reputation for zealotry.

I'm havin to use a laptop at the moment. A rather nice Thinkpad mind you.

My main rig is down at moment, one of my PSU converter adaptors gave out. 4 pin to 8 pin, it melted. So I am currently awaiting delivery of a rather luxurious 24 pin modular EPS PSU.

Re: Get to know: The Techie Talk folks
Background: I Graduated from Strathclyde last year with a BSc with First Class Honours in Computer Science. I've been developing Java applications professionally for 2 years in total, but have been using Java and general software development principles for a few more. I dabbled with Linux throughout uni and until recently ran linux on all my home machines.

Now: I'm a Java developer at a financial company developing server side applications using a variety of open source frameworks and J2EE standards. I'm a Sun Certified Java Programmer and I'm currently working towards the Developer certification.

On AN: Java, Linux, SQL, UML, theres not much demand for it here though.
