I Am a Computer Geek

I have used, worked on, built and programmed computers since the first IBM XT came out. Back when MFM and RLL hard drives were in use. Who remembers using MS-DOS DEBUG.COM to format your hard drive? My first computer was the RadioShack Pocket Computer 2.
In 1993 I was published in Pc-Magazine for a program I wrote in QuickBasic to control the I/O ports on video cards to enable high intensity background colors.
Worked in a shop in Montana for four years where I built hundreds of system's, laid miles of CAT5E cable and setup multiple servers to manage a entire school, both administration and student workstations.

Ya, I am a complete NERD!!!!

You were a couple of steps ahead of me.
In 1985 I bought my first computer....A Tandy Color Computer II with 16kb of RAM and 5 1/4" floppy drive. I learned BASIC on that thing
