Also wanting to participate

[PaulTech]

Hi, I posted and intro months back and I have been a fan of Technibble for 4 years now. I can definitely say the slowly growing success of our Tech start up has been a result of the information posted by the generous members here! Thank you.

I have tried to participate in the other forums but I keep getting you have not participated enough. Sort of felt like a catch 22!

Here are some insights:

* Yes, people will bring you tough challenges. They could not fix it themselves easily so that is WHY they are bringing it to you!

* Don't be too eager to grow too fast. It is a service to others that is at work and being overwhelmed is no fun either.

* Living on a shoe string is hard, having a family along for the ride is harder. But once things pick up the heavy weight starts to lift as you can provide for the family. You'll be happy, they'll be ecstatic!

* While working from home is challenging it is awesome having the ability to be with your kids and go for impromptu walks to take a break.

Top tools:

* Keep a library of CD, especially VISTA (32 / 64 bit) and W7 (32 / 64 bit) recovery disks.

* Use YUMI and boot via a linux distro to check if it is Windows causing the issue.

* Get D7! (Take your time, it is loaded so slowly master different pieces.)

* If you can swing it subscribe to MHelpdesk.

* Need a super TECH boost consider Westwood College online IT degree. I learned more in one year than I could have in 10.

So thanks again to Technibble for being a solid supporter of Tech's!
