Hello fellow techheads, geeks and nerds.

Thread Starter 
I'm new to OC.net in the sense that I've never registered before - I've looked at tons of articles, read lots of posts and so forth... just never registered for some or other reason. Now here I am.
OK... take it easy with the applause please... tongue.gif

Anyway, I'm a long long longtime techhead, nerd and geek. I've been involved in games and technology since I was about 4 (playing coin-op arcade games) and have never stopped...
I am a father of 2 kids, both of whom I am diligently instructing in the art of Circus Charlie, Galaga and Bubble Bobble.

Anyway, until later.

Thanks guys, nice of you to say hi. smile.gif

I forgot to mention (not that it's worth anything to anyone) that I'm living in New Zealand. And heck, it's never too late to start playing Bubble Bobble!
