How did you discover Neowin?

[altezza Veteran]

Interesting topic...well let us see how Neowin members here discover Neowin for the first time and what makes them decided to become Neowin member.

Let the discovery begin! :D

P.S. I found Neowin when I was browsing through some tech news. I click a link to Neowin site and browsing through them and because of large numbers of friendly member and interesting and yet useful topics in the forum, I decided to join in. Neowin's surely the best tech news site! :D

I found neowin whilst reading about early alpha/beta builds of windows XP. Back then the site's appearance was radically different but i kinda liked it. The content was well displayed, and from reading the forums everyone seemed to be a friendly bunch so i stayed. Course...i was in lurker mode for a long while until i finally decided to register. I've been addicted ever since. This place rocks.:cool:

I found Neowin after I got my hands on Windows XP, and I was trying to download the PowerToys for it. It so happens that Neowin hosted them, and I decided to find out what this neowin.net was. It turns out to be heaven for me. After being unable to read attachments, I finally registered, and it was, again, a great action. I fit in perfectly with truly good people (i have many people in my school who just condescend to me). Thank you, Neowin.net!

Someone mentioned that Neowin.net had some screenies of a beta build of XP - can't remember the details.

I came here, looked at the screenies, then the site went down for a few weeks (if I remember correctly). When the site came back online I visited occasionally, I found the the forums after a few weeks and joined. :)

I had heard about this place in the past, but redrope got me into it.

[harleydog]

during the xp beta testing days, ran across wxperience.com and they pointed me here. I don't remember what I was looking for, or if I ever found it?? :ponder:

[kaffra]

searching for whistler screens...

I remember an article about "Neobond shaves for the first time" and a picture of him... I wish i saved a screen. :p

acutally, neowin exists as a result of my recoginzing it's existence. without me and my knowledge of it, it ceases to exist.

hey, it works in my head... :D
