Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Just noticed this original “introduction” forum. I find it nice to know other members better, so let's introduce myself.

My name is Martin Lippert, I am living in Munich, Germany and I have spent most of my working life in the IT industry working in different positions like customer service, training, sales support, product marking and sales.

I have started in 1980 with a company called Modular Computer Systems, which was producing 16-bit real time computer systems for use in industrial automation projects. Our main competitor was PDP11 from DEC as well as th upcomming VAX Systems.

At that time a computer with 32MB of memory - I'm not talking about cache memory size but MAIN memory - needed two 19" racks to be mounted in.

Later on I have move to start the German subsidiary of Sun Microsystems, in 1980 we were 10 people working for Sun.

I learned much about Assembler Programming Language, Fortran, Cobol, Algol, Hardware design, and I have quite much knowledge about RISC Processors, Sun Solaris and Linux operating systems.

It's fascinating for me, how Gordon Moore's Law changed the chip design over the years.

A couple of years ago, I have retired. In my excess time I am working on how to fix broken laptops and I have learned much about Windows and its internals.

Oiginally I have received a Master in Physics as well as a PhD, but I decided to work for the IT industry in various areas.

I hope too that this forum will be a success and I'll try to contribute.

Regards, Martin

Hello everyone,

Hi, I'm NunoHPP and I look forward to benefiting from the large store of knowledge I image is to be found here. I wish I could promise to add something to said store myself, but I'm afraid that, given my ignorance, I'll be more of a user than a giver.

Stay safe!
NunoHPP

Hi all
Was drawn here when my TV failed, and seeing as the country is on a lock down with COVID-19, i figured i would actually look at diagnosing it, as all the stores are closed!
Trained in electronics, but not been on the tools the last 20yrs......should be fun!!

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all
Google brought me here via another site. Like seemingly many others, I have a broken TV and a soldering iron and multimeter and 20+ years experience of making things worse by tinkering with them - what can possibly go wrong?

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Greetings. New around here. Looks to be quite an active place with a lot of smart people and technical discussion.

I come across defective televisions in my line of work often, i am joining in search of technical advice, and perhaps assist others in finding hard to find replacement parts, rather than throwing old hardware away.

I have more of a computer background, Large systems such as the Dec PDP 11, IBM AS/400, and Silicon Graphics, but am slowly getting more in to the ac dc electronics side of things. I am usually dealing with older antiques CRT televisions, but I have started to work on plasma, projection , and lcd tv's now as well, due to them being dropped off at my place of work.
