I was reading my PC WORLD and low and behold there is Tech Guy Support being offered to the world for free support. I guess this wonderful site will see a spike in newbies joining us. There is no breaks for the Tech Guy!

in a nutshell,

in 1921, when computers were just being made.
2 guys in a barn in ohio made what is now known as the www,
but the called it massive barn communications.

these 2 guys were brothers, john johnson and willy wonker.

they invented the rights to the first gas powered main frame.

and the govermnet took it oover and the internet was bron.

they then did technical support, roll on 2000 and the official TsG website was born.

Now in there late 90's they have retired off slush funds, kickbacks and money from there involvemt in the witness protection program.

and anywhoos ,\who gives a dayem burb blurb blurbbbb


go find a fish and fry that sucker

I first saw an article on TSG in the January, 2004 issue. That article is what brought me here.
