I found mine in a small paper bag by the side of the road. ;D

Actually, I played with a Heathkit H89 in high school but really fell in love with computers with the release of the Sinclair ZX81. I really loved that machine and I hope to pick up one someday at a garage sale or flea market. From there, I went to the Atari and the Amiga and in 1991, moved to the PC. I also have experience with the Apple II and Mac. I learned everything on my own from reading and experimentation. In the PC world, I started with DOS, went to Windows 286 and Windows 3.0, went to OS/2 with version 2.11 and in 1994, went off the deep end and fell in love with Linux..

I learned all on my own. I bought a PC and brought it home and plugged it in, then the rest is History.

At first I was scared that I would click on the wrong box or do something that would crash my comp, but now...a few years later I come within a hair of crashing my comp pretty much on a weekly basis.....and that thing still keeps on ticking.

Trial and Error Rains Supreme in my Domain. ;D
