If your birthdate in your profile is correct... Quite a few of us have been using computers since before you were born. No offense, but that's part of where the knowledge comes from.

Dude, dont even trip about it. A lot of these guys here either work in real Technical Support and thus are trained in all this stuff or some of them built their own PCs and hence use that experience to learn. I'm not either of the two, i just want to start building my very own PC this summer. Actually if there was omewhere you could look at post recrods, most of my posts are in General and off-topic  . dont trip anyways...it's allll good!

i was never inclined to learn those stuff until i had a computer problem myself. i'm not a real techie as most of the guys here but through reading i learn some basic things. and when you try to understand your computer, you'll always have that thirst for knowledge.

you have the biggest resourse right in front of you,follow the threads that interest you from the problem at the beginning to the solution at the end
create a folder and a file for each problem,and paste the fix in it so you can refer back to it

DUDE! you were born in 1989? Awesome. I'm 27, but I formatted my first hard drive in 1989 (20 gig IBM 8086, 12mhz - "all the power you will ever need"). I don't know half as much as most of the cool people that contribute to this forum, but I've been around for a while (with computers) and can "hang" with some of these guys. I was a tech in college for an office with 120 computers. That was the second year Windows 95 was out, and the machines in that office had everything from DOS 6.1 to win 3.1 and 3.11 to 95 on them, running on LAN. It sucked. So I guess you just need to keep plugging away and don't be afraid to do anything (LOL, I guess that maybe only applies to the old DOS and FAT32 windows, cause last week I had one of those "moments" with winXP, you know where youe heart beats really fast and you start wishing you had just left the damn boot screen alone). Good luck man...

we learned how to use computers when they were simpler and buggier. then just built on that info, it becomes natural after a while.
building your own pc in order to save $1000 makes for a great insentive to learn how all the hardware is inconnected and compatible. if you get something wrong you may be out a few hundred bucks.
we were all noobs at some time. but yeah those who start now have a higher (or different) threashold to cross than we did.
