Worked in the tech field for over 20 years. Started out learning basic on an Apple IIe then on a TRS-80. Been interested in computer hardware and software my entire life. Consider myself lucky that my hobby as a kid/adult is what I get to do everyday earning a living.

Stolen from @Mokubai:

First, please put down the chocolate-covered banana and step away from the European currency systems.
