Hi from the Netherlands
« on: May 24, 2010, 11:10:48 AM »
Since I have been reminded of this place just recently due to a discussion on another forum, I thought of coming back to see what this was all about.

So, I am a very old man (43 ;)) come from Arnhem, The Netherlands, and I like to collect DVD's and when I've got more time watch them as well. My collection is not as big as most others I've seen, but size doesn't matter. ;)
As  I said, I'm 43, unemployed since November 2008, worked until that time as a Personal Computer Service Technican, which is a nice name for 'the person that gets to be blamed if the computers do not work'.

It is good to see some familiar names around here. Such as Mediadogg, Addicted, Goodguy, Antares and many others I forgot for now.

Good to see you, Edwin. I'm a computer techy too, made redundant in early 09, but luckily went almost straight into another job. Not as good, but you have to take what you can get. Must be tough. Hope things come around for you.

Welcome EdwinK!
Good to see yet another member in this busy day. And don't worry about your DVD collection not being big, here size doesn't really matter, my collection is tiny.

Welcome, Edwin.

Will be 43 in in October myself.

Haha Sam, there are a few younger ones around here. We have at least two 19 year olds, myself being on of them and I think a 21/22 year old? Also Petes daughter often posts here and I think she is 13. DVDCOL really does cover a wide range of ages.

Welcome Edwin. 43 is not old. Also being a computer tech seems to becoming the norm around here.
