Jafo I am supporting the site. I'm here, I contribute. The site didn't help me get this computer other than being the place we all talked about what we were doing or going to do. The awesome friends I have here made this computer possible. We could have done this via email.
And as I said before, I am sure I am not the only one that uses Adblock. It is a top ten extension. Ads are intrusive and annoying
I'm not going to belay the point but it was only through our consent to allow the posted request for help, AND the site's connection to the members which enabled responses that facillitated your machine. Similar done via email would be considered 'spam' by most people...
