Inspired by dRD's comment in another thread I would like to say that over the past 7 years (4 since I found AD) I have hacked, burnt, and built my way through all sorts of electronic devices thanks to all of the help here on AD. Please join me in recognition of the efforts and contributions of all of us here on AD by adding your own achievements to this list. Without AfterDawn I would never have... Copied my first DVD Played my first emulator Hacked my iPod Built my first computer Built my first home theater Copied HD-DVD and Blu-Ray discs Modded my Wii Modded my Xbox Backed up Wii games Backed up Xbox games Modded my Xbox HD And many other software and hardware tweaks and ideas over the years that have made my life easier
without aD I never would have realized that I like keeping computer servicing as a hobby, not a job. way too frustrating to fix other people's mistakes all day.
without afterdawn I would have never had to report people for oversize and out of spec sigs.. lets face it.. I don't give a rodents rectum these days.
Thanks AD for helping me... Mod my PSP Mod my Wii Mod my XBOX Mod my XBOX 360 Realise my Dreamcast didnt need modding Burn all of my back-ups too
Without AfterDawn I would never have... Tried to mod my PS2 to run two hard drives (and burn it up in the process)
Without Afterdawn I would never... Modded my Wii Modded my 360 Understood why Microsoft sucks so much and that they have such a firm grasp on me and my electronics Learned that I waited too long to buy a PSP and I'm stuck with the 3000 Been able to help people with what I know Authored my first DVD I would get information from forums but never really posted before I found Afterdawn. Although many people say AD is going in the wrong direction, I find it a good place to go to find and give information and help people. I have learned a lot and been helped a lot since I've joined on here, and I hope I have done the same.
Without aD, I would have never: Found out how to host an RS server, then contribute to the community. Been able to burn Dreamcast Games. Gotten help on the countless randon topics I've asked about. Met half of the people on my instant messenger's friends list. Known what to do during my hideous insomnia (such as what I'm suffering through right now). Thanks afterdawn. As I final note: "I lost 36 pounds in 3 weeks, thanks to Afterdawn.com! I was so busy posting, I forgot to eat myself to death!" lol We need Billy Mays to advertise for us, lol.
