They are a mixed bag to me. It's how I keep in touch with non technical members of my social network and, as was the case today, actually became part of my job for a few hours, calling up clients to confirm fax numbers. After a few calls I got more comfortable, as I was sweating bullets at first. I'... |

I voted for debian, as MEPIS is based on it. I find it has the best hardware detection out there. Updating is easy as well. DSL is great for older machines. I would only use Gentoo if I was going to build a very specific type of computer, say a file server, and wanted to optimize it for that task. I... |

If you showed my life to most people, they'd say "no". But the funny thing, is that I'm quite content a majority of the time. The difficulties I have, are simply the result of having to work a day job e.g.:commute - dealing with people on my walk to the train station & people at the train statio... |

Fear and respect are two different things.
Fear dictates what people will say to your face, respect dictates what they'll say when you're not around.

I already have a AMD Athlon64 X2+3800, but am really looking forward to quad core. Being able to perform CPU intensive work with multi-threaded apps on multiple cores is one of the best things to happen in a long time. I'm looking forward to multi core GPU's in the future since I'm also a gamer. |

Welcome! I am also interested in data entry as a job. Thanks! I've honestly found, after trying all sorts of different jobs over the last 8 years, that data entry and AS is a perfect match, more so if you're inclined to computers as I am. One place I used to work at was an insurance place, and afte... |

I've been reading this site for a quite a while now, though I just now registered to post in the job forum. I'm 28 & currently employed as a temp data entry tech, as all the best jobs I've had were in this field. Working at my temp job, I was asked about a permanent position less than two weeks ... |

I'll be starting a new Data Entry job in about two weeks where I am already a temp. Every week they have a big staff meeting and I just KNOW that they'll introduce me at my first meeting :roll: . I've already had a few incidents with my coworkers during trips to the bathroom and entering and leaving... |
