I found mine in a small paper bag by the side of the road.  Grin
 
Actually, I played with a Heathkit H89 in high school but really fell in love with computers with the release of the Sinclair ZX81.  I really loved that machine and I hope to pick up one someday at a garage sale or flea market.  From there, I went to the Atari and the Amiga and in 1991, moved to the PC.  I also have experience with the Apple II and Mac.  I learned everything on my own from reading and experimentation.  In the PC world, I started with DOS, went to Windows 286 and Windows 3.0, went to OS/2 with version 2.11 and in 1994, went off the deep end and fell in love with Linux..

I learned all on my own. I bought a PC and brought it home and plugged it in, then the rest is History.
 
At first I was scared that I would click on the wrong box or do something that would crash my comp, but now...a few years later I come within a hair of crashing my comp pretty much on a weekly basis.....and that thing still keeps on ticking.

That's great Tina.  I'll be coming to you for any domain name server, web server or mail server questions I may have. Cheesy
Did your college teach you any Linux?
