Hello Everyone!

I would first like to say that its been a long time coming and I am finally glad that I can be a part of the Neowin family. I was first introduced to this site in early 2012 by boss/buddy known to you all as user smeltn. I have always loved technology since the time my mother bought me a SNES and I took the thing apart before I even even played it! Needless to say, I did not get the system to ever work again and my poor mother did not buy me another system until I about 4 years later, but from that point on, I have taken a keen interest in gadgets and how they work.

I have worked in the IT field for over 10 years now and I also own my own computer repair business but I am also taking online classes to further my education in the IT community. I look forward to the future of technology and I want someday hopefully leave my mark on this planet by bringing something innovative to the world of technology too. I'm no Bill Gates or Steven Jobs, but I believe I have what it takes to make something out of nothing and the drive to help push technology further. I look forward to pitching in and helping others with questions on neowin and also everyone opinions on different matters. Godspeed to everyone and looking forward to making new friends here! #NEOWINBOUND!

Ken A.
