Profile -
In 1986 I got access to my first computer, I discovered the BASIC language a year later and have been programming ever since.  Over the past 15 years I have diversed into PC Hardware, Protocols, Multimedia, DBMS and Web Design.

My interest is not so much in computers and technology but in all things new that can improve the world, that just happens to mean a lot of computing and technology.

Currently I plan to keep learning, avoid getting pigeon-holed as an expert in one particular area and do my best to make this world a better place by helping where I can and learning where I can not help.



Remember, asking simple questions does not make you stupid, it is struggling for hours without asking that is stupid.  I got where I am today by asking people who know more than myself, I will continue to do so and hopefully share that knowledge with any who wish to ask for it.
