I have been an independant computer consultant for the last 4 years, specializing in the home PC (non-Mac), and have done everything from tutorial sessions on software to hardware troubleshooting and repair.  I have also worked on the local high school's network, doing both the wiring and the software for a simple Windows Networking and TCP/IP setup.  I have built a few PC systems from scratch for friends and relatives, and currently own two PCs that I have built from the ground up.  I recently invested in a PowerBook G3 and am now learning the Mac side of things.  Lastly, I currently enrolled at Dartmouth College and plan on majoring in computer science.
