Hey All!
Great forum

I am new to this tech forum.
been around computers since the 8088.
(now that dates me!!)
Used to get on the internet through a college back door...and a terrible phone bill.(2400 baud)

Now I build my own..at least my last four.
learnin a bit more as I go.
seemed that for a while there the industry was at a standstill.

Don't get me wrong..
Just cuz I have been around them.(and even sold them)..for a little while..
I still know just enough to get me into trouble...
About me?.
I come from the land of microsoft....and starbucks..
kinda reminds me of a led zepplin tune

I work with my hands..
and am the one called..(by friends and family)..
when their car..plumbing..or computer act up.
and in that order.lol

I work with my hands..
(feels like a friggin datin site)
