Hi all,
apparently I just joined, which could be a good news I've got fed up long ago by the NBR kids and the whole manufacturer influence thing over the mods and what not so here I am, in hopes that I can express my views freely, lol. Not that I'll be leaving NBR though, but you get my point.
Well Tech Inferno Fan got in here after some stupid argument, unclewebb is hosting throttlestop here since ver.4 as I remember, so I figured just couple more people need to join (if not already) and it would be a all-you-need type of forum for all, heh.
I've got great threads started in NBR in the Lenovo community there specifically for the T61 laptop over the years, but I guess no need to repeat those in here. However I'm sure I could be of great help in such discussions. Nonetheless I provided the test laptop for the last middletons BIOS that enabled Dual-IDA with many other things on those machines, along with some beta testing for earlier versions of throttlestop an year or so ago.
anyways, I've been around computers since the beginning, i.e. the 8086 days so I've seen it all. That must have been my first overclock when the computer was running at 8MHz and I made it to run at 12MHz via jumpers, heh, been some time since the 640KB RAM days. Besides computers I got interest in turbo cars as well, which I'm sure will be cool topic to discuss if somebody is doing a project like that, as I got turbo honda running for the past 5-6 years as well, despite everybody's saying that it's gonna blow up due to the power output for a stock engine. I also happen to be el.engineer so that comes in handy sometimes .. maybe I'll share pictures of my own "computer" board that I designed as school project some 5 years ago - LCD panel, num keyboard with letters, 8051 microcontroller and "huge" 2kb memory chip, and all that controls an air gun on a stepper motor that shoots ping pong balls with compressed air into a target and keeps score
I think I'm going to skip the rest 27 pages of introduction, lol, but this is my first post nonetheless.
