Thread: Old computer Geek

Hey all!

Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm sure many of you have seen me around AF for the last few years and I recognize some of you from there also. I'm a computer tech from way back. I had an original Apple (wish I still did as they are worth big bucks) and then the Apple 2 and 2E. I built my first PC based on the 8088 chip, and have been building. tweaking and repairing computers off and on ever since. I'm not a gamer, but really enjoy working with Android, so will see if I venture into the Android gaming realm.

About my avatar.

My Father was head of the camera dept. at Desilu as I was growing up, so I spent a lot of time as a "studio brat". I would go to work with my dad in the summer and on any school vacations and spend the day running around the sets and sound stages. I caught the Star Trek bug early watching TOS being filmed and all the on-set antics of the cast and crew. Although my favorite series was/is TNG.

Later on, as I was working for a major film lab, I got to watch several of the final episodes of Voyager be filmed at Paramount studios, so it was like going full circle!

Now I'm semi-retired running a small computer service here in San Diego.

Looking forward to seeing this forum expand and want to help where I can be of use.
