Can you remember your first computer?
Mine was a second-hand relic, much like the one in this picture, that my dad picked up from the free ads in the late '90s when I was still in school. It rarely worked as expected, so I spent more time fixing it than actually using it. That frustration sparked my curiosity about how computers really work. I learned to take the computer apart and upgrade hardware on a budget and installed repaired software and drivers using old-school DOS prompts, gaining a deep understanding of the system beneath the user-friendly interface we all interact with today that is Windows.
Fast forward, and I became everyone's go-to "computer techie," building new PCs and reviving dead ones. That experience led to an 8-year stint at PC World. Over the last 20 years I built a client base back in Rotherham where I used to live, many of whom I still support today even though I moved to Barlborough. Every problem teaches me something new - there's always more to learn, and I do love a challenge! 😊
If your computer is acting up, send me a message, and let's get it running smoothly again!
