Hello all,

I have been in the enthusiast market since 1999 and have not looked back since. I have always owned a nice computer as it is my passion. Kind of like most men with TV's, mine is my computer.

I stumbled upon HardwareLogic through dailytech's hardware reviews. I am an avid research analyst and actually do it for a living so this site was a breath of fresh air. I run across so many bogus sites that claim to be review sites and post MAYBE an article every month or so. Whatever...

My personal life kinda sucks. Going through a seperation/divorce right now with a 4 year old isnt easy, but we are making progress. We live in the same city so that is a blessing. She trying to take me to the bank is no fun but the judge should take care of that soon enough. We will be able to file for divorce on Feb 8th 2008 officially. 7 more days...Wow, has it really been a year?

My daughter's birthday is on the 3rd of Feb so I will be celebrating her birthday this coming Tuesday when I have her over.

Other than my personal life, business life is pretty good. Things are slowing down so I have been looking for another job. I am at a point in my career where I would like to really learn something different and new. I am getting tired of the same old same old. Been doing it for too long...

On the computer build side of things its tough. Cant seem to get my head above water. I am trying to get out of debt from the divorce so things are pretty tight. Kind of living check to check...which Im sure lots of us know the feeling unfortuantly.

Well, what was supposed to be an introduction turned into a damn AA meeting. Haha... Glad to be here guys and I hope to be a serious contributor to the success of this forum as I have been on forums accross the net in the past.

Thanks



I do not own a computer. Divorce sucks...

Well welcome to HL! Yep, you will find an interesting group here which I am sure will remove your mind from pending divorce. Speaking of divorce your personal life right now does not kinda suck, rather think of it as change.

Divorce? Been there and done that (actually twice). However today makes 18 years married to Kathleen, yeah, I finally got it right!

Happy birthday wishes to the little one. Aquarians are great people! I should know!

Anyway, visit often and enjoy reading some of the great reviews here as well as the guides.

Ron
