Yup! That's me, at my computer as usual. I don't know whether to call it a hobby or an addiction. Spend most of my spare time, of which I have a lot, working on the computer or surfing the Net. I'm 52 years old and have been working with computers since the late 80's. No , I'm not an expert. Nobody can be that with the speed at which the field is changing. I started using Windows 95 shortly after it came out. Collected everything I could find to make it run as fast and as long between crashes as possible. If it was tweaked and patched enough, it was a very reliable OS. I'll talk more about doing that on another page. Now I have upgrade from Windows 95 to Windows 98. I loaded 98 the day after it hit the open market. No playing with the beta versions. I have also taken courses and done hands on repair of my systems. I'm also taking courses from Ziff Davis Online University to learn more about using the Internet and making computers do what I want them to. When I'm not playing with computers, I enjoy riding motorcycles. I have a Honda Gold Wing GL1100. Real nice ride for long trips which I try and do a couple of times a year. Have to do something to blow out all them scrambled bits and bytes.

I have built others and gave them to my granddaughter. Her computer grows as I'm constantly redoing mine and putting the left over parts in hers. If you have any questions just send me some email and I'll try and give you an answer. Hope you have fun on these pages and maybe learn something that helps you have a more enjoyable experience at computing.
