Bought my first computer in 1998 to help me find info on building a telescope. Little did I know I would become a computer aficionado, and  an avid amateur astronomer .
I'm always looking for the next person I can help, because in this sad world we live in today there ain't half enough people willing to lift a finger for their fellow man. I hope to instill this in my kids, to make this little spot I stand, on this earth, a bit easier to endure for all.
I am a self taught computer builder and repairman(technically, not a tech) who can't get enough of it. Pay me if you want but I'd do it for nothing just for the challenge.
And as a famous beer commercial says in my country, "I AM CANADIAN" I guess I like beer too much, eh.
25/08/2007 update: Been here at EE for a couple of years and still have the bug to check on the site every day. Still learning from others here and I don't see that ending anytime soon, as the experts here are knowledgeable to say the least.
