Hi all. I started working with computers in1986 in a mixed PC/Unix environment where it fell to me to sort out the hardware and software issues and continued from there to IBM support and then HW/SW consultancy and am now a hobbyist that started fixing broken kit so my kids could have decent gaming PC's. Kids aren't kids anymore but the habit has stuck with me. I'm happy/appalled how much great kit ends up trashed, more fun for me. Though i do miss the days when components were a size you could see without a microscope.
