Computer History:
I have been using computers since I was around six years old.  It all began when my father bought a Commodore 64.  Over the next few years, I eventually became bored with playing arcade games and started to develop my own games and programs in BASIC.  I was even able to mimic some of the classic platforms games that were only available on the console at the time.  Due to the slow speed of BASIC, I started learning MOS 65XX Assembly.
When I was 16, I was given a 286 computer from church. I was quick to adapt to the new machine and mastered the system in about two months knowing the in's and out's of DOS, Windows 3.1x and X86 system architecture. About a half a year later, I built my own Cyrix based 200 MHZ computer from parts. Since then I have built and repaired various machines.

When I'm not at work, I like to try out new things and tinker.

My current desktop is a custom-built 3.4 GHZ AMD Phenom X4, 4 GB Dual Channel PC3-12800 RAM, ATI Radeon HD5770 with 1024 MB DDR5 running Windows 7 Home Premium.

My current laptop is a Dell Inspiron 6000 with a 2.0 GHZ Intel Centrino, 2 GB RAM, ATI X300 Mobility Radeon with 128 MB DDR RAM running Windows XP Pro.

My current Phone is a HTC Touch Pro 2 with a 528 MHZ Qualcomm, 256 MB ROM, 288 MB RAM, running  the latest version of Windows Phone.
