Default Hello from me!

Hi

I'm Gabriella from Doncaster, South Yorkshire (UK). Been fascinated by computers for the last 4 years when my former employer gave me a lovely laptop, a few wires and gizmos and sent me on my way to work remotely and at the office - I hadn't a scooby do what to do! I had to learn pretty quickly with IT support hundreds of miles away if you could get hold of them.

I've changed jobs since then and really miss my laptop - I may even venture into a purchase before too much longer.

I have been a member since May this year, mainly through an interest in an internet computer company who didn't do what it said on the tin. I've found lots of helpful advice and lovely people on the forums and am really pleased to be a member!

That's me...

Gabriella x

Glad to have you here Gabriella, you are one of the few females we have on the site

Laptops are great, and I really miss not having one anymore too - especially good for watching DVDs on long journeys on Trains

Love your little animal Muckshifter - how do you get little things like that on your messages - also what about the witty 'sign offs' that people have - how do you do that?

Updated a few bits 2nite on my profile - had a panic as the site thought I was a newby - managed to get back on OK and it remembered me.

Love this site - it's cae!

Welcome aboard, gabriella, nice to have you here

For pix in your sig, you'll need to have some web space and host it on that web space.

Then go to your profile/edit profile.

And type in a link similar to this (without gaps):

Hey Gabriella - For the "witty sign offs" you just type what you want in the signatures section. you can change font, size, colour etc etc - see mine

I would like a laptop - the thing is they are £££££££££££££ and whilst much more expensive than desktops, they do not perform as well - perfect for the general home user who uses the internet, outlook, word and excel but when you play demanding games you need the performance.

Maybe once im running my 3rd part time job (Waiter at local golf club, have an application form for tescos and build computers for people who want them at no or small profit) then i can save up and have the best of both worlds!

just while im here, you said in the other thread, Nadia admitted she is a he! What did everyone say? do they now all think shes a freak? was Marco suddenly up for a buggerin?
