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:

This is exactly, same place I found neowin also, although I was looking for something about XP, as I had rc2 @ time.

I visted Neowin almost daily (still do) :D , and later became a member.

a friend at work refered me 2 a news artical on the front page. I kept comeing back every no and then, started lurking in the forms for a couple of months, then started posting stupid ?'s like "How do you fit a socket 478 cpu fan on a scoket 423?" no one has still yet answerd that question!

My boardhistory started with board from wxperience. I joined iexbeta after that. They had stuff for windows xp. :) On the homepage of iex were several newsmessages that were from neowin. So i clicked the neowin.net link and i discovered this forum. :)

A few days after i joined iex, i joined neowin. Nice thing about this forum, is that is has one of the best skinning community's inside neowin.

:)

Greetings.

Bathroom wall. I was taking a dump at a local gas station in the san jose area and was reading the wall in the bathroom stall. And it said "For some cool links goto neowin.net" ever since then I have stopped by here once a week to check out whats going on.

God bless that guy who wrote on the wall. So after a few weeks of seing your content I decided to go back and make sure lots more people seen your site. I crossed out most of it and put "Hella Good PORNO at Neowin.net" thats why you have been getting more hits and more people posting ****. Sorry about that. eh all in the name of fun. :lick:

sometime before XP was released I went to google and typed "Windows XP Wallpapers". I downloaded some of them and didn't know it was from Neowin. Several weeks later after another XP site went down the drain I saw a link to Neowin on it and clicked it.

and here u are right ;)

    • Less powerful than a PS5 at twice the price! I wonder if they use that for marketing? Totally DoA.

    • How does it compare to the "SeeStar S30 Pro" and the "Vespera PRO 2"?
    • Indeed. And note that those units are MUCH cheaper than this new Steam Machine...ahem.
