How old? I've been into computers about as long as Microsoft. Before Windows. I thought Visual Basic 6, Microsoft Access and Windows XP were the best things Microsoft ever did and wish 2 of the 3 weren't dead. That old, and I wasn't young when I started.
I've done a little bit of everything in desktop and small-business systems and I also know a thing or two about construction and other areas. I'm very much a do-it-yourself person. A couple of years ago I crawled though some miserable spaces to run coax for the DVR system I put together from an assortment of old stuff. I'm ready to replace it all.
I'm not asking for advice about that right now - this is an introduction. I'm still in research mode. I've read the Cliff Notes and know where to find the Wiki. When I have a better idea what I need to know, I'll post some questions. This looks like a great place to get answers from people who know what they're talking about.
