Well, not NEWWBIE since I've been a lurker since 2005 with a whopping 2 posts, lol. But to be honest I had some gear to sell and this seemed the best place to unload. :D

Anyway, I'm John. I like photographry and of course, computers and electronics. For some reason I was a heavy forum user back in the 00's but kind of lost interest after college. Maybe it's due to the lack of dead class time haha.

I have a problem with buying and selling new tech, it's a borderline addiction.
I love keeping fish that grow too big to house in home aquariums.

I also have a smoking problem.

Anyway, check out my photography here: www.thingsbyjohn.com

And I'll be sure not to lurk anymore! Got a new desk job and I have quite a bit of time to procrastinate now. :)

He makes me look ridiculous and I make Mongrel look silly. :p I too have a problem with (wanting) to buy and sell tech.

EDIT: Well speak of the devil.

Hi Boomer! I'm good. I just don't get online a whole lot any more. This old lady's hands hurt when she types too much. Lol I think I wore them out in the first few years of being a member by posting so much. How have you been?

We bid farewell to California about 18 months ago. Now in the lovely green of the PNW. We like it here.

Lol you sound like me with the back and knees. Sorry to hear it. A lot of people I've known either have moved, want to move or are going to move to Oregon or Washington. It's a cult, I tell ya! ;)

Don't underestimate the power of lurking. Its amazing what people will say when they don't know you're listening...........

BTW, welcome. :)

Quit being so selfish, ViRGE . That isn't very nice, you know. Plus, I tend to do the opposite of what I'm told, anyway. :p ;)

Lurker/reunion thread...WTH? I did not get the memo.


Guess that means I'm not a lurker or old. That works.

Anyway, as the Pres of the Welcoming Committee, welcome. Enjoy your stay because you can check out but...you're screwed anyway.

Hi John!

I'm the forum's token cute person.

I-Wing looks fetching in his French maid's outfit, it's true, but beware, John! There's still sausage down below! D:
