lol... hmmm not really you know im more of an editor... Not to much of a programmer like i have made a few programs but thats just messing about.

Still learning.... i would consider myself a complete noob at programming - to put it that way.... And you?

Kewl... Ya i wouldn't buy a pc let alone a server from dell/hp or any brand name. i would rather build my own pc's. buying from a brand name company most of the time gives low quality hardware such as the ram/motherboard/psu - lasts until the warranty expires or the computer is completly unstable.
Same here all my friends come to me if they have pc trouble. like my friend he took his computer to an IT guy and he couldn't fix it, he told he the symptoms and i told him out to fix it in a second.
Ya at school were doing programming but for some oddd reason were doing like 10% practical and 90% theory.. so i dont learn to much so im trying to teach myself...
