Hi, I’m Adam, I’m known as Warwagon on the forum. For the past 19 years, I have been running my own computer repair business. In doing so, I deal with the average computer user on a daily basis.
Any information I provide for these people is done with the lowest common denominator in mind. It’s a common misconception that anyone who joins or browses a tech site is a techie. Some people are just looking for guidance. That’s why these tech tips may seem a little too easy for some, but they’re educational for others.
