I have always loved tech,computers and gadgets I was nick named gadgetman by one of my co workers at Atkins Technical where I worked as a assembler of temperature probes,I made special gadgets to help hold and spin while buffing the probe parts,hence the nickname gadgetman. I went to tech school in the early nineties, for electronics,electricity and communication electronics which had some studies in computers technology. I believe the computers in the training room had windows 3.1 no hard drives and very small amount of system memory. Nowadays I enjoy upgrading computers and building new ones I like windows xp and Ubuntu linux the most.
