Sometime in the late 90's, my wife and I bought our first home computer, due to each of us having always used the computer at our own work and, never really needing a computer at home. First there was "dialup" then DSL and then Road Runner, and now, WiFi.
Well, things changed and not only did we buy that first home computer but, others since including labtops and, OH GEE, what's for Christmas this year?
During this time(late 90's) I was doing some home research on motor oils and filters, wanting to find information like so many here at Bob's, on which oil/filter were the best!
Like the rest of you folks, I discovered many individualy tested sites and some lab tested sites, all with their own facts & opinions. What I was looking for was information that agreed with one another.
I did other types of online searching besides oil/filter. We were booking flights/rental car/hotel etc. for our family vacations and just a world full of knowlage to be gained. We even buy our vehicles, tires, "COMPUTERS", online now and have since about 1999-2001 and our online purchaces is growing all the time.
One day(~2004), I was back into the oil/filter research again and just looking at car reviews and related subjects when, I happened apon BITOG and have been hooked ever since. It is probably the best oil/filter site that I have come across in the whole time I have searched online. I have also discovered other sites pertaining to the vehicles that we own and they too make mention of BITOG.
My oil/filter searching has slowed down lately as I am very content & satisfied with the information and what I can contribute here at Bob's. Once in awhile I'll pop in on other sites until I read the language/sarcasm and lack of real knowlage which in turn, tells me the age of the members there and I then turn away. "I feel at home here"!
