I'm 20...you can probably guess my name, and soon I will be going to college to be a pc tech. I love working on computers.

I'm also engaged, no children (and don't plan to). Besides computers I'm a Playstation freak, and I skateboard and play guitar.

I also recently discovered this website.

It would appear that at 52 I am the eldest here. :mrgreen:

I have a beautiful wife of 14 years and two loving daughters ages 10 and 12 that mean everything to me.

I have 30+ years experience in the printed circuit board industry.
I started using computers when the first AutoCad program came out back in 1985.
In 1997 I went back to collage and got another degree, this time in programming.
Five years ago I started my own business doing independent circuit board design and layout work and custom programming.
My wife and I also do website design and resale hosting.
At the end of this month I will officially be retired.

My wife is opening a custom stained glass shop next month, so she will have a chance
to do what she loves, her artwork.

Plus I am the local biker (motorcycle enthusiast) here “Live to ride, ride to Live” :yes:

This kind of brings me back to when I watched the Long Ranger episode where he took off his mask.

I wish it wasn't so, but I've got Gecko beat, I'm 58 and still kicking! My Memory is starting to go, I couldn't find the exclamation key for a second there. I wrote software from 1985 to 1990 and then built computers for clients until 1995 and now I troubleshoot computers as a computer tech

My sons 12 years old and everyone on the soccer team thinks I'm his grandfather--(I haven't killed any of them yet) and my son threatens to get me a cane for Christmas (I've threatened to crown him with it if he does.)

Other than that life is great, their just trying to make me feel bad/old

As for the moniquer I chose ICECUBE as something that was used and something that served a purpose and then left without a trace

Merry Christmas everyone

Jim
