How does Brink have the time to write all those excellent tutorials, etc


cereberus said:
Of course @Brink is the undisputed tutorial heavyweight champion of the world.

However, let's not forget another champion @Kari who has contributed some amazing tutorials but due to serious illness has effectively retired from this scene

    I didnt include full specs. But you can get the general idea of what kind of computer iam using
What people don't know is that Shawn is a very talented singer/musician too! Just look at him belting out "Smoke on the water" at the top of his six lungs!
And......he can change a tap washer as well!!

Clearly not... he's doing a very conscientious job and keeping the end-user's needs at the forefront. That's not the MS way.

Hi.

I think @Brink has a quantum computer in his scull working alongside his big brain. He must have been doing things in just a blink of an eye.

If there were an Oscar to be dedicated in his area of work, he was the one to be chosen every year for it.

Thanks a lot to him and the other hidden team members.
