Don't want to remember 2003 as I was bankrupt and had nothing! :'(

Now I'm comfortable and existing.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Tech.   :)

It was a year later before I joined the forum but it was nice to see the beginning.

Hi Tech,

My first memories were that I was glad I had found the avast forums, had experienced a real bad malware incident and had to use a Windows linux distro to recover from that and by that occasion swore that such an incident would never happen again. It never did thanks to what I learned from frequenting  the avast forums. I also remember that bob3160 made comments about my avatar at the time, it was too large in size and a ridiculous monkey hopping around, another happy moment was when the beautiful avatar was created for me by S.Z.Craftec, a master avatar developer, I kept it ever since. Also memories of the postings of Eddy bring fond memories, he introduced his special HJT analyzer tool here. Good to memorize, Tech, and of course all the good friends I made through here,

Thanks for that, Bob. It all was very interesting.

Sooooo many user names seemed to have disappeared.

You sure changed over the years, based on your avatar. ;)

Phil, we are the only ones on line in this thread and both joined in the same month and year.

I would say that makes us special. :)
