Amiga II? Amiga 1000? I loved the Amiga. I had a 500+. Wonderful machine. Felt just right. I never connected with winblows at all. I ended up going Mac just because it feels closer to the Amiga, somehow.

Haha cool, I'm a big Amiga fan too. I collect them. I work IT for the USAF too.

Definitely a big computer nerd here. I work as a linux system administrator.

Here is a pick of my 45U rack that is in my house:

I have about 70TB worth of disks in that rack =) All together I would estimate probably around 20k USD of hardware. I bought it all back before I had a house and car payment =) Won't be doing upgrades for quite a while now.

I also have fiber internet (two lines) bonded for around 70/70 speeds:

Needless to say I am a bit of a speed freak (both on the road and on the net)

68000 assembly was a beautiful thing (as assembly language goes). Much more intuitive than this Intel crap we're stuck with today. I loved my Amiga.

I'll probably just take some classes and get my CCNA and maybe Security+ then I can gtfo of this industry and make real money. My previous company was going to put me over 50 after bonuses but then the boss (a kid my age with no work experience that got the place when his dad died) got greedy and cut everyone's bonus in half, and half as often. I bounced.

IT/Network/Programming is what I like to do, just gotta go out and do it. I need a Pell grant lol

Who else is a computer nerd.

All the nerds are in Bangalore, New Delhi and Mumbai.

Hi,

Graduated in computer science 04'...

I mostly drifted away from programming and into the infrastructure part of the industry... Worked as an systems consultant first working my way into an MCSE:Security and as an active directory / security buff... but now ive been working on Enterprise / Carrier level networks and working my way from an CCNA/CCDA certification halfway through my CCNP cert...

Can't complain much... theres always something new.
