    Post first Time Post

    Hi all, My name is Doug Barber and I'm US Army retired and have my own computer business in Lubbock Texas. I have probably tossed more money on old pc's than I care to consider. But that's hopefully going to change.

    After some soul searching and a shift in thinking, I decided one day to stop throwing away an income that I ignored for MANY years.

    I found this forum quite by accident and have learned a lot already and hope to contribute as well.

    After retiring from the Army, I opened my own business in Lubbock and have been plugging away ever since till I looked at the shop and realized I had to do something with the 50 or so pc's collecting dust or get a bigger place. I've shipped my first shipment and waiting on the results. I'm grateful for any help I can get.



    Thanks all
