Personal Description

Former Organic Chemist from UF G'Ville then worked at Burroughs Wellcome in NC as a Synthetic Organic Chemistry (pure FUN). Now a self taught Computer Consultant since 1989. Mostly a hardware guy as I have heavy experience in electronics, started with Electronic 101 in 9th grade. I repaired TV's and VCR's in my dad TV repair shop during high school. I installed and maintain Entrance Gate type security systems for Royce Parking in the late 80's. One job was security for the Court of Appeals out in west Miami. I could fix a dead power supply but why. My career has pretty much paralleled the PC evolution so I know hardware down to component level for what that is worth anymore. I maintain PC's and small Windows networks, up to 10 stations. Good registry knowledge but always more to learn. That we all put up with Microsoft amazes me. If you had to patch your TV every two days to keep it working, who would put up with that. Currently moving away from being a Windows tech though I may drop Microsoft and onlly work on other operating systems. May move into integrated home security/entertainment/low energy electronics for new age homes if my back problems dont prevent it. On a personal level I have practiced the strictly defensive martial art of Aikido (look it up, beautiful) for 11 years. Politically I am a progressive Centrist or Centrust but labels aside and I listen to both sides of all issues and decide on a case by case process. Hope to get some useful info from this site, ready to get tripped up?

Regards,
Dave
