Fun Facts

I love programming, doing technical support, and especially explaining computer knowledge to the less fortunate who do not understand this technology. I live in this world, and have been around it, before Microsoft was even started, and have kept up with this industry since.
After you have been involved in this world, it becomes second nature, and it does get easier, I promise you. A key to learning computers, is" REPITITION".

About Me

I am a computer "GEEK", and love building computers, programming, as well as doing technical support, and all the different types of software that is out there, as well as keeping up with the latest technology. This is a passion of mine. It is also very helpful to know "where" and "how" to research computer information, about something that you are trying to do.

Approach

How did I get to this point?

This is where I s
