Read about a teenage kid 'who'd setup his own website giving computer advice and had become very successful' a few years back on some Indian website :)

First went to the website just over two years ago to read about hardware for the computer I was getting ready to buy for school. And then last year, one of my friends on the hall told me about Hot Deals. From there, I came to OT. I read Hot Deals, OT, and sometimes Operating Systems now.

Was reading Dave's Video Game Classics (which became Vintage Gaming Nation) and he had a news item about a MSFT Sidewinder gamepad for $2 after rebate. Linked here.

i was asking on cnet about graphics cards, and someone posted a link to the anand geforce 3 ti article that compared them all. i then look at these forums and asked about GFX cards. to be honest i didn't like the forums at first, seemed dull and empty to me, but i just kept coming back.
and it wasn't until recently (last few months) i've bothered looking in off topic

Well I was always looking aroudn for deals and free stuff before. I eventually stumbled to this place and then eventually migrated over to Off Topic from Hot Deals and FS/FT.

I posted my one and only hot deal....for a free computer, hence the name freebee. Unfortunately my thread was locked and I was gonna be banned, so i never did pursue it any further.

Somehow I wandered on over to OT, where I have been stuck.
