Wow, I was just sending an email to a group of Zen people about the HTG for when they can't get a hold of me and by chance I hit My Profile instead of Forums, and it looks like I had one year yesterday.

It goes without saying that you are all amazing people. It is wonderful to see so many give freely of their time to help total strangers with their computer problems and/or questions, and to put them all into fairly basic terms, and making it simpler or more advanced as needed is truly wonderful.

So thank you to all of you, I am glad to be a part of this community and have learned a great deal from all of you. Also, a special thank you to the Geek, who's effort and dedication has made this all possible!

ScottW, are you sure? I've been here a year and I'm sure you were here before me.

I remember my first post. I was such a basket case, I'm sure I contributed to whs's premature aging:) That was before I knew what the OT was.

Thing is Scott, I can't say for jack, but regarding myself you are most probably correct!

Lol - and we wonder why Jack is only around occasionally - he posts all the time, just the mods probably delete all his posts :P

All of us are doing a great job helping the people. From those who dont even know what is control panel, to those who are even geekier than us!

It is really nice to be with friends. And many times the "teacher" learns more than the student. Without HTG, I would probably still wonder about the intricacies of "Control Panel".
And I think most people that come on HTG with questions are already in the more advanced league. If I compare that to my local Computer Club where I attended a Q&A session yesterday night. Questions ranged from "How do I copy a file to a USB stick" to "how do I get the pictures from my camera on the PC - there is this little card?" and the best one "how do I stop a printer". And this club is supposed to be one of the more "advanced" in the region.

Is that sort of thing not just like banging your head against a brick wall?
