Heya all, I'm new to the forum, and here to help anyone I've hacked most of my life and have never paid for software. Ever. Haha!
Erm I don't know reli what to say to be honest... I have a very good memory and am a jack of all trades (ironic as my name is jack xD). I fix computers as a hobby my last acheivement was totally rebuilding a 99p laptop with its original win98 OS...
Seems easy you may think however it had only a detatchable serial floppy drive xD so I had to manifest everything in small 1.44mb packets then realised I could make a compact OS that runs off the floppy :p
I wrote one out (I did it as part of my GCSE IT project) and it worked brilliantly!! Until the floppy burnt out xD
But yes, ask me anything if I don't know the answer very few people will haha
See ya peeps!

You sir, are my programming equivalent 0.o

You had to work with floppys and lived through it?

Luckily for me i never had to go through the pain of either floppys or Windows 98.

I've done something like this(worked on a laptop that had no way to get data on it) but I used interlink through a direct connect parallel.
