Wow what a milestone and I'm still here and I'm getting old lol. :rofl:

Can't remember how I came to neowin. Perhaps a google search for tech websites to learn more about computers from but I did remember lurking around for a while before registering.

I have had gone through a rollercoaster style of computing. 5 computers (1 of them was a shitbox), later and I'm still here :)

I had a brief break from neowin during 2007-2008 when I was attracted to a local tech website, whirlpool.net.au (not a washing machine site, an aussie broadband website). Now I juggle between the two but I still do post here and that is not going to change :)

Newbie.

Holy crap, I had to check my profile to remember when I joined. Apparently ten years flys by quickly. In that time I finished high school, went to college and have been working in my field for 4 years. Crazy...

Congrats! Shouldn't we get a badge or something?

I've suggested this before. Create an (opt-in) 'Old Farts' badge for members who have been on here for >= 10 years.

It really depends on what NeoBond & Co. thinks. We think it's a good idea, because of the dedication we give this site. Afterall, not all of us are Mods, MVC's (not sure how we are not MVCs.).

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      By Asgardi · Posted

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
