Well.. I am me.. I didn't see a "Introduce Yourself" forum.. but figure.. off topic.. why not..

I am an Arizona Refugee.. now living in the meca of West Texas.. Lubbock.. 28... 29 in april.. damn I am old.. but yeah.. work.. I fix PC's.. remotely.. from home.. for good money.. work for a company out of Arizona.. my boss.. and most of my co-workers are friends that I know from going to lan's in Arizona.. we work hard.. but we have fun.. and take care of the customers.. I work from home.. so I am online almost all the time. mostly after 2pm MST.. till whenever I call it a night..

Family.. married.. have a wife.. 2 stepsons.. and 2 grand daughters.. yeah.. 28 and a grandfather.. some weird math there.. but trust me.. it works..

Interest's.. computers.. duh.. ok.. been doing this and that on them since I was 14.. took the "Computer Science" class in high school.. did the word perfect thing.. dos.. and some basic programming.. then on to Pascal.. lot of good that is.. dropped out.. damn near killed myself working odd jobs.. then got married.. at the time.. I was a video game tech.. worked on arcade games.. cool job.. but hours sucked.. then I went to college.. got a AAS in Web Design.. so when I get a chance.. I fiddle with a website or two.. got out of college.. took a job building PC's.. and troubleshooting.. that was ok.. small company.. learned a little.. but business slowed.. hours dropped.. so off I went.. bounced around a bit.. and was offered this job.. but I was moving.. made a deal with the owner.. I would work for him.. from texas.. so it all worked out.. been here since March.. still at the same job.. same hours.. same money.. but I love it..

How did I come to PCA?? RubberDuckie showed it to me.. at a lan at his place NYE.. been on the other sites.. and they are just to "Hard" to get around on.. and find the good stuff.. and the good ppl..

and just a note.. when I join a site.. i stick with it.. see my posts on Fr3nsyc.net.. Just shy of 7000 at the time I post this..

so.. that's me...

I love to help ppl.. and will anwser any question I can.. and if I can't.. I will try to point you in the right direction..

Welcome aboard and I hate to bust your chops so soon but the one thing you mentioned seems to baffle me: ...."yeah.. 28 and a grandfather.."
Care to explain or should I assume that you married a much older woman?

29 old? Just wait. Welcome!

Welcome aboard.

Old at 29? Wait until you get as old as Flying Penguin. Oh wait, I'm older than he is then why does he refer to himself as an old fart?
