Age-46
Location-Oswego, NY
Occupation-Printing Machine Operator(soon to be unemployed-corporate choice)
Divorced with 1 son.
Owned a computer for a couple of years. But just in the last year, began tweaking. I am in the process of building a dedicated Folding computer, as I feel this is a very worthwhile endevor. Like to play computer games, but I am absolutely terrible.
When not playing with my computer, I'm out riding my mountain bikes (I have 5 of them). When the weathers bad, I'm playing racquetball. Just bought a new Chevy Xtreme pick up
I'm a Philosophy major, with my double major being Chemistry. Until recently, I'd never really heard of F@H. I've spent way too much time working on my car, as my girlfriend can attest to fact that I smell more toxic than her nail-polish remover. Consequently, I decided to pursue other interests.
Seti@Home has been available for a while now, but I never really found any practical use for it. I guess F@H had more of an impact on me, due to it's far-reaching effects. I know numerous people that stand to gain from this techno-marvel, and I guess that it was only right that I took part.
I've never really been part of an online community before, so I haven't the foggiest idea of what's expected of me. If my online ettiquette seems to be way out of line, let me know. I usually don't hold grudges (unless, of course, if it means that I'd lost a trophy due to a piece of gum caught in the intake lines,) and I'd be more than happy to debate any issue.
Now, if only I could figure out how to get F@H to actually work. :D

About me:
Originally from Nigeria, lived in the UK for past 8yrs.
Like people specially female variety, beeeerrr, partying and PC's. 1st pc early 80's (sinclair spectrum), moved on to Commodore 64. Took it apart (not too subtly) within 1st few months to find out how it worked. Well it never worked after that.
Started building PC's 2 yrs ago following a PSU of a retail system i had blowing up in a storm. Needed a straight recasing, but got me interested enough to put 1 together myself. Now own 2 i built and have built for friends.
Like my job ... still!!
Getting married in Aug to GF of 5 yrs.
started folding for Team 93 a cpl of weeks ago
Have had gr8 advice from loads of people on here for pc related probs and feels comffy here. :O well i'll stop waffling now!!
UK represent :D:cool:
Me, am 50-something as of last December 15, been through school of hard knocks and school of educational knocks, and school of experience, and learned one thing-- you NVER stop learning in IT or in life. Anyone can suddenly tell you something you never thought of, cuz ain't NONE of us perfect-- PERIOD, and the most dangerous of us humans is any who thinks he\she IS perfect or more perfect than all the others.
Been on the street (for a few years in Missouri), helped those that were on the street best way I could, made some real interesting friends, talked a few OUT of suicide and helped them out of bad situations, been in school (as far as attitude, LIFE is a school as much as formal school, but BOTH are needed), tossed funds and parts to those who could put them to good use, been given food, gave food, been given friendship on a platter, gave it that way too sometimes, genrally a life of ups and downs that balanced, for some strange reason, into more ups than downs. NEVER was rich in money, never really wanted to be that.
Thinker, philosoph (Germanic for philospher), been nearsighted 90% of my life, been myopic most of my life, been left-eye dominant as to vison most of my life, eye muscles in right eye look like they might just get fixed this year, giver, fair taker, thinker of sorts. Kind of a loner for a long time, less so now.
Crhistian, system builder and designer\specifier as to computers, primary think Operating Systems and debugging same, not at code level but at knowing how to use the tools in them and other helper software to compaensate and overcome problems with flaws in them. Opinionated, will confess that, but try to get along. Throw idea curve balls in part to illustrate and emphasize points and teach, which I will do at the drop of a hat and usually for free or close to for friends. Also always willing to learn, and try to show how words can be misunderstood when have msiunderstood myself simply so folks other than me will not have problems.
My sense of humor can be WRY, DRY, or very punnysome (word coinage, used in slang of MY teenage times). Like to be made to think, and make others do same. Too dang VERBOSE too, so will shut up for now.... :D
