How far back do you want to go?

The first "real" computer I owned was a Sharp PC-1500. Not much more then a calculator that you could program in basic. But if your a 15 year old kid then and its way back when then this one one cool thing. The iPod of its day.

I started my career at the age of 18 working at a local computer store selling and servicing computers. At the time we were talking CP/M, DOS and original Apple based operating systems. Those were the days.

Then IBM released the IBM PC in 1981 and things really started taking off. There was early competition to the IBM in the name of Osborne, Compaq and Sanyo. Remember 5 1/4" floppy drives?

I went through them all any of these ring any bells?

DOS (version 1 to 7.1), IBM OS/2 Warp, Windows 1.1, Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, Windows for Worgroups, Windows NT, Lantastic, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Ubuntu, Mac OSX.... I''ve worked on them all and more.

Since then I have worked non stop in the IT (Computer) industry and have seen computer progress to the blazing speeds they are today. I wonder though... why computers still seem to take the same amount of time to boot up as they did 20 years ago. Hmmmm.

There is not much I have not done. Business, advertising, administration and of course computers are all well understood. Working with so many different businesses has given me an excellent understanding and appreciation of what makes a business tick and allows for real out of the box thinking. I'm not your normal techie.

I moved to New Zealand over 10 years ago from Texas (and yes I like it here and yes I plan on staying. haha) . Originally I settled in Auckland and I opened two computer service shops there. I relocated my business a few years ago to Wellington to be near family. I now operate out of a nice office overlooking the Wellington Botanic Gardens.

Thanks for visiting my web site. I hope to be able to help.

Want to see something different? Here are my rabbits: They are Flemish Giants.

I'm actually more of a dog person but work being what it is it's hard to have give a dog the attention it needs. I don't know what I was thinking when I got my first Flemish Giant rabbit. But having the first one over a year now and having just got the second I think they are great pets.
