About Me

- About Me
- Beginning in the mid 1960's, I became fascinated with electronics and; because my dad was in computers, they were added to my hobbies. In 1966 and 67, I was awarded 3rd place in the D.C. regional science fair; the first year for Fundamentals of Electronics and the second for having built a digital computer using knife switches, paperclips, light bulbs, and several hundred feet of wire.
In 1973, I began working for an electronics wholesaler and in 1975 fell into managing their fledgling integrated circuits division which promptly grew almost 10 fold, making me very curious about the things I was selling to clients like the Smithsonian, the Navy, .....
So, in 1976, I purchased several bare printed circuit boards; all S100, and started to build them. Little did I know that they would need to be reengineered in order to work together (or for some, to just plain work), that I would need to write the assembly language code for their rom BIOS, and the hardware drivers for CP/M.
But; from the knowledge learned pursuing my hobby, a career was born when, in early 1977, I began working for Computers Plus who just happened to have a room full of broken computers.
Ah, for the days when it was simply a bad IC, transistor, or component, needing to be hunted down and replaced. Hardware is much easier to deal with than Windows!
On February 1st, 1982, I put $500 in a bank account and started DMCC Computers which grew to be the D.C. area's largest and oldest computer service company, employing 20 people, and lasting til December 1999 when I decided to close it, primarilly for personal reasons.
Now, I'm trying hard to stay a one man shop, helping folks solve their computer problems and then teaching them how to do more than they thought they could.
