Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all
My name is Socratis "Sox" from South Africa
I have resumed my electronic career after 35 years of being in the retail trade
As a technician the basics are the same but things have changed over the years and I decided to join your forum as I am watching Richard Learn electronic repair on you tube and he only has good things to say about this forum

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all! I keep coming back to tech every decade or so, as my other ventures and initiatives complete or wind down. I started in tech in the 1970s, installing cable TV, maintaining broadcast/video gear, and lusting after the new computers in Popular Science and Byte Magazine. (What a great mag that was). I finally acquired my own in '85. It was a PCjr. Lame, but I could afford it. My infatuation with computers continued though an undergraduate degree in international relations, and I even tossed my hat into the import/export trade. Boom!

While the smoke was clearing from that, I was spending a lot of my time helping friends figure out which computer they should buy. It didn't take too long before I started to selling them myself. First in stores, then on my own. I had a middling venture running in Vancouver, BC, with a few friends, and my old vocation in cabling led me into enterprise networking. (Netware anyone?)

From there, I migrated into groupware and found job offers in the USA too good to refuse. I like to tell people that I met my wife when we were both working at a Burger King, then I did some time in Folsom.

Actually, it was the MIS department of Burger King HQ in Miami, FL, where I was lead in an emerging tech lab ( Enterprise Fax! What a joke. ) and a Lotus Notes migration. Then it was stint filling vacancies at Intel's MIS facility in Folsom, Ca (about five miles from the prison). I was the Lotus Notes product specialist, then I sat in the Email Gateway Manager seat for a month. So intense. Stupidest career move I ever made was to turn down a permanent job offer with Intel's Level 3 support crew. No doubt the best work environment I have ever experienced.

A miscommunication with my direct report at Intel led to all of my subsequent job references going nowhere. An optimistic/serendipitous investment in real estate back in Canada cushioned my path through the dot-com bust and 9/11 fiasco. I became a real estate agent, but I got better. I mucked about in home automation for about a decade, then followed my heart and bought a used book and record store on Saltspring Island. While there, I bought a container full of old and broken audio equipment for $100. I managed to fix an average of one every month or so. (Fuses, tubes, shorts, dust, etc).

Now my wife and I have a little hobby farm in Nova Scotia, and from shear boredom I joined the local Lions Club. I'm one of the younger members....

Now, I've got a modest collection of dysfunctional/broken PCs and other electronic gear. It is calling to me...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Hi all,

I've been browsing the BADCAPS forum for a while but have now decided to jump onboard! I'm and electrical engineer and have been "messing" with tech stuff for longer than I can remember, although these days time constraints often tie my hands I still enjoy "tinkering with tech!" when I can.

Greetings from Jeffersonville, IN USA

Junior wet-behind-the-ears network engineer here with a little bit of PCB-level repair experience. Forum refugee also from the now-defunct eLab.ph (Philippine Electronics Repair forum), looking for new pastures.

It has been almost 10-13 years since I signed into badcaps.com. I know I have another account here, but it has been lost to the ravages of time and multiple computer migrations. Maybe I'll find it again one day.
