Full Biography

Before 1997 I knew next to nothing about computers,  didn't own one, didn't use one and had no desire to have anything to do with them.  Late that year I was 'house sitting' for a friend and he wanted me to check his emails while he was away. He showed me how to start the computer, dial up to the Internet and read the emails. He left me a manual for Windows 95 and said to feel free to use the computer as much as I wanted.  I quickly became fascinated with the machine and spent hours with the manual and bought another one for Netscape 3.  By the end of January 1998 I had my own computer and the fascination continued.

I joined EE early on, back when it was a free site ( the good old days) and right away found it to be a wonderful and helpful resource.   Family and friends now think I know a lot about computers and come to me with their questions but every time I visit EE I realise that I actually know very little.  After ten years I still find that I learn something new just about every time I switch the machine on and from every question I have asked here I have learned a lot.
