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 using basic. But if your a 15 year old kid then and its way back in time... 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 working on operating systems using 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? How about a whopping 20MB hard drive. Nice big solid bricks they were. Processor speed was fast back then, we're talking 1 whole megahertz.

I went through all the operating systems... 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. Now we are moving into a new era of tablet machines and very smart phones and I'm I'm still on top of it. While I don't a iPhone I do have a iPod touch and soon will be getting both a iPad and Android tablet.

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.

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