Building my own Pc's since about 1987
So far 25 and at the time I started there were not that many doing that so I'm self taught,during that time I have made mistakes but I learned
In the last year or 3, I've built 5 computers, of which at this time 4 are in use-2 by me and 1 by my granddaughters-one by my son-of which none are giving me problems.
I'm enjoying my retirement as I have more time to devote to my addiction(computers) and of course my granddaughters
since 1997 I've beta tested for MS-testing 98/98SE/Me/XP/SP1/SP2 and now Windows Vista.
I plan on writing a lot more epinions and I have. I will also try to explain the hardware so just about anyone can know what I'm talking about.
