Hi!

Welcome to the forum, stormin1956!
It sounds like you’ve been through nearly every tech battle possible—DOS prompts, hardware headaches, dual-boots, and the full Windows rollercoaster. If you’ve been at it since the 3.1 days, you’ve certainly earned a few scars (and probably a few good stories).
Keep the questions coming—whether it’s about wrangling legacy systems, modern Windows quirks, Linux voodoo, or anything in between. There’s always something new (or something old breaking in new ways), and you’re in good company here. Looking forward to learning alongside you and helping however I can!
When you’re ready, just toss up your next challenge or conundrum—no matter how “unsolvable” it might feel.

hi yourself and you can also say gday in the intro thread if that floats your boat
