Just thought I'd drop a G'day as my first post.
Issue with the registration process though. Why the limited options in regards to the job description? The nearest I could come up with was non IT professional. It made me feel dirty :) -------------------- I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book. Groucho Marx

Hello there, welcome to Atomic.
I'm moving this thread to Feedback as that's probably the better section for what you're asking there. All good though, hope you enjoy your stay :) -------------------- You shoulda tapped

I'm pretty much a casual user these days. Family life, health issues and all that. Play the odd game, drool over tech and such like. Drifted back to Atomic after a few years out of the loop due to being diagnosed with a malignant tumor a few weeks ago. All good and responding well to chemo, but I do have to take it easy for the duration of the treatment process. Can't bear to watch TV except for movies so I'm finding myself back in front of the comp a lot more.
Did complete CCNA and some Cert IV networking and programming courses early in the millennium but never continued with studies or worked in it so it has dissipated from my memory banks :) -------------------- I find television very educating.

The funny thing about being a 'professional', or white collar worker, is that I very much suspect that you use a computer as your primary 'tool'. Which, in a sense, makes you an IT professional.

It's a funny word that, and I totally disagree with it being used to describe white collar workers only. If your a master of your profession or "art" then, well, that makes you a professional. No matter if your blue or white collar. Damn I cant clean for crap, yet a lowly cleaner (not my view on cleaners by the way but the general prejudice against them) can clean up a storm in a hell of lot less time than it takes me. They are pro's at what they do. meh now I'm rambling but you get my point.
Edit: I'm seriously blue collar by the way so my views may not coincide with the director or film company.
