<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mac McDonald, post: 6640429, member: 117420&quot;]Hi, folks.&nbsp; After 2 mos. of being a member, this is my first actual post.&nbsp; If I&#039;ve chosen the wrong forum for this thread...if it&#039;s even a &quot;thread&quot;...I&#039;ll learn.&nbsp; It&#039;s been a bit daunting for this old(er) tech-dummy to figure the where/what of things around here, but by trial/error plus a few tips from a some of you and a little common sense (goes a long way), it&#039;s coming.&nbsp; I&#039;ve probably come close to &quot;crapping on&quot; or &quot;hijacking&quot; some threads in my replies...sorry if I have or did...it&#039;s easy for me to jump the tracks (unintentionally I assure you).&nbsp; FYI, I still use a desk-top computer...just recently and intrepidly went from Windows 7 to Windows 10 plus wi-fi and which I barely know the basics enough to get by with. Also still use a 20-year-old &quot;dumb&quot; flip-phone that still works pretty well for what it was designed for...calls and texts...but no internet, camera or other &quot;smart&quot; features/functions, et al.&nbsp; My dear/smarter wife (aren&#039;t they all?) or one of my three grown/brilliant children (didn&#039;t take after dad for tech-stuff) can help me with a question now/then, if long distance.&nbsp; So, you&#039;ll have to bear with me at times and without the tools/skills to post photos.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been a U.S. coin man since boyhood...the &quot;history in your hands&quot; concept hooked me before it was a slogan...but recently became interested in some limited foreign coins...some Conder tokens plus other issues of Britain, et al, Canada, Europe and a few others...again, very limited. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I recently changed my original &quot;mood&quot; icon from English (there was no Irish or Scottish icons and some of my ancestors way back were English) to Amazed, because I&#039;ve become so amazed at:&nbsp; how many ancient coin collectors there are...I had no idea...!;&nbsp; how many error coin collectors there are and how much effort many of them go to...much/many more than I imagined;&nbsp; how much...through reading these forums over just two months and after collecting off/on for over 60 years...I didn&#039;t/don&#039;t know nor how much has changed that I just didn&#039;t stay current with, if some for better and some not so...and some still TBD.&nbsp; Thanks to several for the help, tips and general &quot;coin talk&quot; thus far.&nbsp; -Mac/Amazed[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
