Hello everyone... here goes my attempt at an introduction...
I've worked in and out of the IT field most of my life, and was always a tech hobbyist in younger years... building HAM radios, getting 720K 3.5" floppy drives to work in old 8086 and 8088 PC's, etc. 
Since I've bounced around so much in the tech world, I've got little concentrated expertise in the tech world... this is where a few of you fellas might come in handy!  BTW Great site you have here... lots of really detailed, no BS information.
