Hey guys, new member here. Was linked here by WayBackTECH on YouTube. Thanks for that.
I'm in Northern Ireland, and I just recently got back into old computers. I had a pile of old CPU's from my past, and wanted to see what they could still do. So I bought a socket7 board on eBay, and I've been playing about with them.
I'm obsessed with old PC stuff, mostly video cards. I have a sizeable collection of them. I also collect old Video Game consoles.

Looking forward to talking with everybody and having some fun here. I'll likely be needing some advice as I go 😀

Zapp.

Welcome, Zapp! Looking forward to hearing about your video cards and the rest of your hardware.

Cheers

Cheers and welcome!
Everyone here is very passionate about something or the other. There are different niches... for some it's video cards, others (like me) it's sound cards... it varies but overall people are always willing to help and give advice.

The more sound cards, the better.

It is safe to say everyone here is willing to be helpful in showing people just how far the rabbit hole goes.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Retro hardware stuff goes in Marvin 😀
Are you actually Irish, or do you just live there?

Also Zapp, this is one of the friendliest forums on the net. Everyone tries to help because we share a mutual passion.

Hear, hear.
Woo! An Irishman! I love Ireland, sir, it's very beautiful there. Also, my mother is half Irish 😉 I just had an idea: a nationality thread. Is that a stupid idea?
