Posted October 1, 200717 yr I was tired of having jobs and wanted a career. I am a jack of all trades. I was a mechanic, house framer, mason, remodeled homes/apt., did HVAC, plumbing, electrical etc. I went to school for electronics and computers to have a career in something that will always be around and not seasonal, something also that I could always excel at that wouldn't be a dead end.
October 1, 200717 yr I heard about the Pamela Anderson video, and I had to see it for myself. (Kidding.) Although, it really was one of the first things I looked for when I got my first computer. I locked up my computer so many times on porn sites, and had to pull the plug, I actually think I damaged my hardrive. Gateway had to replace it. I actually don't know why I bought my first computer.
October 1, 200717 yr Author Tech TV. What station has that. I have Direct TV and have not come across any tech/PC stations.
October 1, 200717 yr i had my 1st pc in 2001, i had damaged the hard drive and memory,i was on win98,so id go in msdos and try to magically repair god knows what by doing scanreg repairs and doing" /? commands",funny enought id be able to boot insafe mode atleast and from there ive just ben getting hands on experiance,trying to fix whats broken or breaking whats working...heh.so thats how i developped an intrest in computers,both hardware and software.
October 2, 200717 yr I have been using computers since I was about 7 years old. So that would have been in 1997 when I got my first computer. It was an old beat up dell laptop with no display. So we used a standard CRT monitor heheIt was a 386 I believe, running at 20Mhz with 4mb of ram and a 60mb hard drive. I played all kinds of old dos games on it. Then I got my first true desktop pc. Which wasn't much better, but it ran Windows 95. Then I upgraded to my previous desktop computer which was an Athlon XP 1800+.Since my first computer, I have always liked to mess around with Windows and just learn new things. I progressed quite well, learned a ton about Windows 95/98. By the time I got my Athlon, I started to learn Windows XP. Then after that, I got a Vista laptop. Now I have a Vista laptop and desktop PC.I never did want to work as a PC technician or anything because in my area theres just way too many people like that, so theres a lot of competition. It would be inevitable that I would be looking for a new job sometime or another. I am going into the HVAC trade, my father works at a company and I have a position waiting for me when I get out of highschool. And hopefully, if all goes well, I'll be working there for Co-op next semester I worked there over the summer, and I loved it. You do need a strong background in computers now to work on a lot of the stuff, so luckily I have that Thats my story and I'm sticking to it
October 7, 200717 yr When the company plopped one on my desk and told me to use it and loose my scratch papers. First decent OS the installed that I understood some of was 95
October 8, 200717 yr The first pc I got was a Basic Computer and I could write several proggies by myself. I stopped using Computers for many years because I started my career as dancer and danced many champion chips and my last one was the world champion chip in Miami Florida in Disco Fox.In 2003 I came back and started computer graphic because as kid I loved drawing and I always liked doing art work. :thumbsup_anim:
October 17, 200717 yr my dad bought me a 486dx2/66 (i think that was 1989) and in fact i still got it (scanned some minutes ago)hehe, not more to say
