I simply love computers.
I was a late bloomer, at first, computers scared me with their complexity, I didn't understand them, I used to write school paper by hand and use a cellphone with Yellow Pages as the only way to talk to a world, when everyone else were on Yahoo and ICQ.
Then something clicked, I gave in to the mysterious machines, I spent days and nights on college computers, if I wasn't at school I went to a public library, if my hours were up and staff would kick me, I would drive to another library. The first machine I bought, was a used Pentium III box, it was slow for the time, but I didn't care, got my online dating profile going. Then was a Pentium 4 Compaq Presario, the most expensive one at Best Buy, it was billed as 'everything you need for multimedia and games' except it didn't even have an AGP slot.
Eventually I mastered the hardware and software and started building my own.
Fast forward to a present time and I'm the guy who types "x part release date" in Google and then adjusts the results by "past week" in hope of a new rumour leak. My computer costs more than my car. I mark my calendar for all release dates, I read hardware forums religiously, benchmarks, reviews, 14nm, 10nm, 21:9, Pascal, throw everything at me! There's something unexplainably alluring about the closed circuit technology.
