"And no I have no problem with people being new to it and asking stupid questions, as long as they don't whine and complain about the answer."

On Digg

I was in Retail Sales for 27 years and Commericial Development for 5 years. The Retail Management posisition was as a Store Manager and therefore I basically had all the networking between the Northwest locations and corporate to administer.

I had to facillitate all the Computer and Peripherals installed in all locations and most of the training that went along with that. We used UNIX based servers for most of the corporate communications however the stores utilized Windows PC's to create e-mail from store to store and office functions.

I started with computers and owned an ACE Franklin DOS machine back in the day. . I was first introduced to windows using 3.11 and I don't know if anyone can remember "Microsoft Bob" or not but I had a copy ot that OS at one time.

One thing has lead to another. Building PC's and repairing them.

Mint is the last OS I'm using. I've been the route using Xandros, Suse, Ubuntu and Fedora. Red Hat, Pinguy, Mandriva and Gentoo. I'm DONE.
