Hello there my fellow Classic Amigans :)
after a little chat in a thread here about some hardware issues I followed up a link on a volunteer expert site, that helps with all sorts from needle craft to hardware IT.
http://www.allexperts.com
So from this i should give something back to the community that I love, I figured I would join as a volunteer expert.
All you have to do is fill in a little questionnaire and they either accept or reject accordingly...
so... as some of you know me what do you think happened next?
heres the email i received
Sorry, your application was rejected because of grammar and spelling errors
Application for category Amiga Problems follows below:
All an answer

hardware, Hacking and modifying to Software, installing, and creating. I have
been very fortunate to be friends whom always seem to know more than me :)
Experience in the area
I have 18 years experience of the Amiga
computer as a user and developer, I own atleast a dozen various models of which
are in various states from stock to seriously upgraded. I really enjoy helping
people get the most from their retro hobby.
I develop Hardware for these computers, for uses to upgrade their computers. I
also write software.
