1) Learned how to put together a computer

2) Learned a great deal of information from fellow Anandtechers

3) Inspired me to buy a car enthusiast forum

4) Inspired me to take classes related to the IT industry (also, since I run a website, it would be nice if I knew how things work..lol..)

some things I have gotten out of being in the AT community

1. met a really pretty girl
2. numerous kick ass deals from Hot Deals
3. advice, sometimes good, sometimes stupid and outrageous
4. relief of boredom
5. met some friends
6. being able to ask stupid questions and actually get some replies
7. occasionally some tech support on computer stuff

That's about it for now.

1. Money!
2. Lots of random info.
3. Conversation.
4. News (sometimes I hear stuff first here)
5. An occasional cool video or game.

1) advice on any topic you can imagine
2) opposite advice two posts later :p
3) a place to tell my stories
4) Red Dawn making sure that no one is too arrogant with whatever opinion they have (definitely me inlcuded)
5) AmusedOne making sure that everyone reviews whatever opinion they have for soundness
6) linuxboy making sure that whatever elements of philosophy I *do* understand seems like the tip of the philosphy iceberg
7) moonbeam making sure I wear the other shoe sometimes

It could easily go on and on. Those are some of the highlights. It's alomst like each person here is best at something, so all of us are best at everything.
