I'm sorry to hear about the system but hopefully you can replace it later.
You should hang around and just visit the forums as you can pick up some great information. Don't be afraid to post a question in any forum you may want to learn more about.
We have some of the best tech staff in the business as well as members. If you can assist feel free to add a response to a topic. The only forum that is not allowed is the Malware forum because only those techs trained for that can assist there. Other then that you are free to assist in any other topic as well as enjoy the information and fun forums.
Thank you for the kind words as that makes what we do all worth it in the end.
