Would you say you're an expert behind the keyboard, or are you just starting out?

I thought it would be interesting to have a poll and see where people are :)

Build my own and manage my own. Of course for information, places like these help :) Even the experts look for feedback on the web to gain knowledge ;)

I'm definitely no expert.

But i spend a lot more time sat infront of the PC reading this that and the other, not to mention all the upgrading to my pc.

I have learned a hell of a lot from this site infact, and for that i thank you! :thumb:

Me good on hardware, but the finer points of software programs leave me flummoxed.

I guess I'm somewhere between 'About average' & 'Pretty good'.

So for this survey, me will go for 'Pretty good' cos I feeling big-headed right now :)

Similar to Flops - I'm reasonably good on the hardware side, but software not so good.....

Not sure what level we are comparing against here, but if its against the average PC user, then I'd like to think I'm pretty good....:p


*Edit: I see we have 15 declared 'experts' so far - hopefully they will answer all the problems on here then....:rolleyes:

I noticed that too Ady, we have 15 'Experts' who have viewed this thread then eh?

Depends on one's definition of 'Expert' I suppose.

I know very few people on forums who I'd consider 'Expert' but there are certainly some out there. And even those guys don't know it all, which they freely admit.

I too noticed that and was wondering who they really are ;) I consider myself pretty good with the computer but nowhere near an expert for sure.

On the whole I would say "Pretty Good" and that's what I voted for.

I'd like to think I can handle most of the issues I am used to dealing with, and in some areas maybe I would "blow my own trumpet" and classify myself as a expert, but as that's what I do for a living, you have got to be bloody good, or they get someone else. :thumb:

Does that make sense? ;)

Yeah i'm gonna be honest and say i voted expert as i've been messing up peoples pc's for quite some years now....:D


I work as an engineer and although i don't claim to know everything, I am pretty handy with me screwdrivers and and am tinkering with the bl**dy things 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year....So if that don't qualify for expert then i'm going home...:rolleyes:

The Dictionary meaning:
expert

adj : having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude; "adept in handicrafts"; "an adept juggler"; "an expert job"; "a good mechanic"; "a practiced marksman"; "a proficient engineer";

I hope to think that i am a proficient engineer....:lol:

As Citech said if i were no bloody good, they would soon get someone else....;)
