Hi, I am an engineering and science guy. Started with C64 and programming in assembler and moved through almost any computer generation afterwards (Atari, Amiga, PC). Worked with Macs in the 90s which, I think, this led to my preference of Windows, Linux and Android till now. I don't like closed systems and take care of IT security by myself. Over the years I did some programming in alternating languages (Fortran, Pascal, C, VBA, JS, TS, Python). I also played games on all plattforms mentioned above and finally arrived (8 years ago) in VR which I cannot go back from. I also did some hardware development for my science projects.

Am a retired government worker who is retired and got my first computer about 25 years ago. Since I knew nothing about computers, gave my kids a piece of paper with the words "turn on" and "turn off" and had them write the instructions on how to use the computer. I first got a Windows computer and an android smartphone. Most of the kids were into Apple products so I transitioned into the Apple world around 2016 or so. I know have a 2019 MacBook Air as my main computer, the latest iPad from 2023 and a 2015 iPhone ProMax and enjoy using them all.
I'm still not that great with tech so run to the kids whenever I have an issue and they're always happy to help. Since they all grew up with computers, this stuff all come so easily to them. Just amazed at how much tech and the internet has taken over our lives though. But since it's here to stay, might as well learn as much as I can from it and thought this site might be a good way to learn.
