Hi

Nothing like as interesting as you guys. Computers have mostly been 
used at home and not for work.

Although in 1984/5? or some when around then I installed something 
called a Novelle Network. No one had a clue what it was and since I was 
game to give it a go, they gave me a week to learn, a huge increase in 
salary and a month to build. Which I completed and then ran for a 
couple of years until I had a falling out with management policy to 
call members of staff twats! Forgive the use of the word. After that I 
left and became a youth worker. Computers have always been a hobby 
since then.

In 2001 I was using w98 hated it and after encouragement from this 
list, stopped dual booting and used Mandrake exclusively and apart from 
needing to use w98 on a laptop cause I couldn't get the modem working 
have used Linux exclusively for everything.

Until the start of this year when I was bought a 17" Powerbook. 
Recently I've been building some web sites and need to back them up 
overnight and so I am building another Linux box.

Next buy will almost certainly be a G5.
