Glad I found this so I know what the levels are.

[akau013]

Ok, still novice... 

[Reyfox]

Slowly moving up. Moving as fast as I can run at my advanced age.... 70... which isn't fast at all.

You aren't the only old timer here.  Many of us were using computers in the late 1970's and early 1980's as part of our careers.  Remember the days of the mainframe computers?  How about the first portable computers, like the Osborne?  I had one.

This Osborn Executive originally ran the CPM operating system.

Yes, I remember. My brother had (still has) an Osborne One, which I borrowed and tried out.  It was big and "dragable", weighed about as much as a sewing machine.  My first real job, in the early 80's, included working on an IBM mainframe, where I used COBOL 80 to program on.  The company I worked in had a Burroughs mini computer, later upgraded to a Wang mini computer.  The Burroughs machine didn't even have a main screen, but instead a paper printer log as "display".  Luckily, the clients had screens though.  😂

I was a Commodore person. It was my first introduction to computers. The ol' C64. And they even had a "portable" SX64 with color screen monitor. You have to be young, strong, and sort "rich". Back in 1984, it cost $995. But the C64 got my feet wet, and I haven't looked back.

Nice knowing that there are other "ancients" here!

[Vynski]

Welcome to the forum.  It's nice to see another 70+ member.  I'll be 74 in one month.

[DanE-50]

another Welcome to you.      I am new to the group as well.    turned 73 a few months ago.   I've been working on computer hardware since 1970.    

[Reyfox]

Thanks for the welcome! 

I started with the C64, ran a BBS, then a C128, moving to Amiga(s) for fun and video work. Customized each one (2 A2000's with GVP boards, SCSI controllers, Video Toaster, Opalvision, genlocks, TBC's). Then sadly, Commodore went bust forcing me to move to the PC. 

I build my first PC, and every one after that.

But at this point in life with the computer I have, still doing video editing with Vegas Pro, I am sitting good.

[TheCombatRhino]

Is there any additional info for increasing ranks? As in what it takes to get to the next level?

[TheCombatRhino]

Cause I'm just a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby lol

[p4T_ludio]

I'm a proudly Adept I 😂

[Amber_AMD]

Good question, I can't share specifics but engaging in the community with posts, likes, and comments will help you rank up 🙂 

[TheCombatRhino]

Dang... no power leveling for us huh? haha.

[BigAl01]

I've asked about 'God Mode' but they know I don't rate.  I bet I'll reach that if I come back as a cat in my next life.

This could be me someday.

[Vynski]

I want to come back as a dog.  My neighbor say's that he wants come back as either his wife or my wife's dog specifically, because they are spoiled so bad.

I literally fell in love with WINKY.

[UncleMumble]

Would love more clarity on this too

[Vynski]

Start a topic discussion.

i.e. Who knows how to read a punch card?

[bobpi]

I know how to read a punch card. It would be more correct to say "Who knows how to read 7bit (or 8bit extended) ASCII codes?". It works the same way with the old punched paper tape stuff.

[goatpopsicle]

Just liking others comments, replying to comments, or making new comments seem the biggest ones to me.  I was a newcomer yesterday and now I’m a stage or two below adept; so essentially how I am at 3d design & printing.  

[bobpi]

Guess I am not doing too bad then... It seems very similar to getting rankings in My Anime List.

[Temmy09]

I wonder how long it'd take me to reach VIP. probably in my next life

[GamerGoneGaming]

awesome

[Anonymous]

I am lvl 12, I can feel power 😄

[Anonymous]

Hurry up guys, you do not know what you are missing!

[csb0003]

[BigAl01]

Help other members and it will happen magically.

[Doryan]

[Brolaire]

[UncaringPhoenix]

Excited to get ranked up!

[IceBeaRX]

Hey all! I'm Icebearx and new to the site. I'm looking forward to leveling up, participating in sweepstakes, and always looking to upgrade my two gaming rigs

[lgndk11r]

Hey y'all! Hope to contribute, even with my little AMD powered laptop!

[ertai222]

Posting so I can rank up.

[AP_Stryker]

Pretty interesting to see the levels here.

[Bepo]
