Help
Thank you for accepting me as a member. I have been searching for an excellent computer help forum, and I liked what I seen on here.
My name is Ron, I use the user name of Oldcrow, being I'm old and retired, so the name fits.. I am the owner of a couple of IPB forums, one being a senior's discussion forum. We do include a Computer forum in it, but no experienced help, to maintain it.
I live in a small town or city, I don't know what it is, but we call it South Lyon Mich. I also travel to Canada being, I'm a Canadian I also live in a small town called McGregor Ontario.
I have one desktop and one laptop, both being Gateways. (yea! I know they make good flower pots) I also help my daughter with her computer, e Machine..

I happen to be the baby of the bunch but don't worry, I can be just as annoying as some of these oldies! ;D
Hope you enjoy your time here

Just a quick note here. As he mentioned, Oldcrow is the Administrator and owner of a forum called "Circle of Friends." http://circlesoffriends.us/ I have joined there and found the reception to have been terrific! Oldcrow also had some very nice things to say about us and even went out of his way to post a link. The forum is very comprehensive and seems to have a pretty faithful following. He says it is for seniors and it does use the expression "boomers." If you feel you qualify please go take a look. (I know I ain't the only one.)
If you see that a new member lists either Old crow and/or Circle of Friends you should know that means that we are doing our job and making our new members feel comfortable.
