Hi,
Just thought I'd introduce myself!
My real name's Steve and have taken the big jump into studying for the A+, Network + and CCNA qualifications (Not at the same time :P)

I'm currently a manager for a pub but am looking for a change of career and since having a "thing" with computers for the past 20 odd years, thought I'd turn my hobby into a job!

Look out for my really stupid questions as my course gets tougher!

Welcome Knight, It not possable to ask a stupid question when it comes to learning. Good luck with your studies.

 

Hi Steve. Welcome to CertForums. Glad you found the place. Interestingly enough, those are the three certs I currently possess. Quite interesting really. Please let us know how we can help.

Hi Steve, Welcome to CF

 

Hi Steve - welcome aboard

 

Thanks guys ...
When I say stupid questions, it's usually the ones that have the answer right in front of my face!

Will keep you updated on how I'm doing (Just finished part A of the A+ for starters!)

One question - Just how recent is PCI-E?

 

Welcome to CF mate.

 

Looks like it was in 2002.

Here a nice little article.

You got that right AJ, but you'll have to keep your fingers out of the till now.
