I'm an old guy who has worked on small computers during the early 80s. I had to learn Unix to be able to run my first desktop which had 2 7.5 in floppies. You have eclipsed me with innovations and technical expertise, yet I'm still here persevering. I'm only entering into the world of Android, specifically to deGooglize to stop piracy of my data.

Hey guys
Hope all is well
I am an avid Windows Phone user. Love the OS, and the devices. I have written an article that was featured on Yahoo. I just wanted to share it with you guys. Please tell me what you think. Tell me if you agree or disagree with my points. Here is the link

Good post,despite the fact I hate out going hyperlink.I especially like the first reason,cuz my past experience with c# is acceptable,I was messing up with wm6.1 and sql back then.
Still,I am not going to buy a wp7 for now.Cuz I need mass storage,portable hot spot,and real multitask.One more thing I fear is our smartphone is going to end up like our diy pc,if every manufacture is making phones with the same os and same spec,than why manufacture A,not manufacture B?That could bring my editor career to hell

Thanks man, I really appreciate that.
And in Mango SDK it is shipped with my favourite languages, verbal and computer: Visual Basic in Chinese. YAY
Unlike Android and iOS, I can use all my 12 years of learning in VB for my cell.
Hi, I'm a hobbyist living in PA and am an end user. Been using PCs since 1987. Wait...34 years??? Unbelievable. I've been primarily using Macs for the past eight years.

An old timer does not need to be old in age, Im also much older than that
Hi There, I'm from sunny South Africa and have been following threads on this great forum for years and it has helped me allot. So I decided to join and sign up.
I've been fascinated by computer systems since I got my first 286 PC on 1985 and have thought myself networks, servers and PC operations over they years I've been on OS's from dos, Linux, Novel, and Windows and its time to learn a new skill. I have also been in the mobile industry for quite some time when Windows CE and Symbian OS's were still a thing.
Recently I stared to tinker with Android and I find the whole eco system very fascinating and I want to learn more and what's a better place than where all the legends hang out.

Hello and welcome to XDA!
I am new to all this and not a geek. My goal is to leave 'big tech' so I am embarking on a journey to load Ubuntu Touch on my just purchased 1+6 and stay de-googled. I have had an iPhone for years and am wanting to leave that platform. I have already successfully converted my Mac to Ubuntu so now a phone change is next. I never did this before and I never had an android phone before. WIsh me luck!
