Default How did you find this website?

I thought it was about time for a change of Poll, and it would be interesting to know how people found this site in the first place

I found the site when I had phone ordered a computer from a company that is now no more. There were numerous threads on this site and another regarding the company and people's experiences.

I stayed with PC Review because I found that people were genuinely caring and did not seem to mind how basic a question I asked whereas the other site most definately did and told ignoramuses like me in no uncertain terms!

I believe Ian and the mods have a very unique site here and one I am pleased to be a small part of.

The knowledge base of the 'regulars' is awesome and I do thank you all most sincerely for your knowledge, wisdom, wit and humour. There's always something new and entertaining to read

You know what I cant actually remember, lol

I do remember sending Ian, a pm asking if you wanted help with reviews and stuff like that back in 2003 I think it was. If i remember correctly the site had not been up too long and you were still in the process of building it and smoothing out some glitches.

It was then at least 12months that I visited again and decided to make it a regular page. Here I am, you stuck with me now

Typed " help me " in google when I had a pc problem . PC Review was the only link listed in the search . Guess this must be the best and only site for quality pc info .
