Time for some self history. Back in 2009 (I got a computer in my room after 6 years, and I have even more history before this, maybe a later post) there was a kid that lived around the block from me. His name was Ben and when I started talking to him was on the school bus. I was in the 6th grade and he was a Junior in High School. One day we started talking about computers and it just continued on. At this time I had a Dell Dimension 4550. Ben had a old Gateway Essentials 500 and a 2007 Vista Gateway laptop (originally it was a XP MCE laptop but got a new one from Gateway as a replacement). One day I was screwing around with the Dell and corrupted Windows XP. The next day I talked to him about it and he said that I needed to do a Windows reinstall, so he grabbed his XP Home SP1 disk and we got it reinstalled. He also mentioned how my Dimension looked like the Optiplex GX270's at the high school (which are complete POS's for what they make us do on them today) with the fornt rising panel for the USB ports. The new XP install didn't have anything for sound or video until a few weeks later I googled a topic of how to get sound on my dad's XPS m140 laptop. At that point I knew what a "driver" was. I thought it was the coolest thing being able to have sound on the computer again. The same week I got the Dimension (was really Christmas week 2008) I got a Kodak c813 camera. At this point I figured out how to upload photos to the computer and it was great.
Kinda much for today. I'll add more to this story later. I got another topic to write up here as well.
