Okay, if memory serves me correctly. I was searching for info on XP before it was officially released, found a link to Neowin somewhere and checked the place out, loved it from the start. Bookmarked the site immediately.

About 6 months later, I was reading a thread with some pictures, said I needed to be registered to view them. Registered straight away. Been here lurking like a bad smell ever since!???:shiftyninja:

I have been checking Neowin's home page daily for a number of years now- I thought I was a member before, but I guess not. So, I registered (again?). This is one of the 4 main tech news sites I check daily, and have used tips and tricks given here to help others with computer problems. Still can't believe I hadn't registered before...unless it was so long ago, my username was back as available to use!

I can't remember how I originally stumbled upon it long ago, but I'm going to guess it was a link, since I am the worst about those. Especially on Wikipedia. I'll go for one article and end up clicking a link to a link to a link and suddenly I'm reading about the ancient Chinese practice of foot binding when all I was originally doing was fact-checking something I read about the Beatles. (True story.)

However, I actually signed up and started to post because of the encouragement of a friend at work, so I chose that option in the poll.

I'm having a hard time remembering, but I think a friend of mine browsed the main page often, and it just seemed like a decent compilation of all the other tech news sites rolled in to one location. Then I saw the site had a forum. I sat down and haven't moved since :laugh:

    • It's expensive, but I bet it will still sell out just like the Steam Deck and the Steam Controller
    • This is listed as a preview in WU for me. I usually don't grab them as previews; what's your opinion on it so far?
