Hi - here's a brief warning to let you know what you're getting youself into by letting me into your community!
Migrated from my beloved Mac to PC about 3 years ago - and found the culture change far more troublesome than i had anticipated. Guess i was a little too cocky - i thought it would be as intuitive as the Mac had been but i found it hard to shake off many of the preconceptions i'd picked up. Struggled all round with the whole 'feel' of my pc - just couldn't adjust to it. Each time i had a problem i'd seek advice and 'patch' it up but didn't understand why i'd patched it up so when a similar situation occured i was in the same boat.
Last month i decided enough was enough - time to unbury my head and get to grips with it. Felt my machine was running under the weather - couldn't say exactly what but it's like driving a car and you know it's just not running as smoothly as it should. So I decided I'd clean it all down readjust the partitioning and learn from scratch how to rebuild the file structures. It's helped a lot. I'm nowhere near fluent yet but it's given me a much better feel for the workings - i don't feel totally blind now - just a bit punch drunk.
Anyway that's where i am - a struggling novice, looking for a guru...
see you in the forums!
