im not what you would call a typical 16 year old kid, more of a computer "nerd". and serriously needs to get a life but oh well... i have been fixing computers for quite a huge part of my life, ever since i was about 12 or 13 , so about 4 years. and people always wonder how i got all this knowledge, well most of it is from hands on experience and the rest is from my favorite source for info, the internet! i have great experience with hardware, the Windows OS (all the way back to Windows 1.0), MS-DOS...and im still working on Mac and Linux i have multiple computers - 3 MS-DOS gamming machines, one from 1990, others are 1995-1998 (i dont know exact years, since they were given to me) -1 Desktop, mostly built by me, it was originally a stock crappy compaq...well, not its not anymore :P - and of course my favorite, my MacBook
