Support tech for a very large school district in SoCal. I think it's one of the biggest in the state. Been there for 5 years but I really do not like it anymore. Currently I'm trying to get my own web design/hosting business going, and I also build and fix computers for people as side work. I don't currently race because I can't afford a second car right now, and I will not race the SS as long as it's a daily driver. Actually I probably could get a second car, but I've been putting most of my free money into my house. I've been in this house for just over a year and I'm just now getting my backyard done.

Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Just wondering what kind of technical/practical background we all have.
