Let me introduce myself

My name is Beth aka the EvilTechnoMonkey. Being born in 1986, I grew up with computers. I watched them go from the big bulky monster of the past to the thin sleek beasts they are today. I've seen them go from 8 bit to 64bit systems. It has been an interesting 25 years to say the least. My first computer at home was a Packard Bell (aka Packard Hell) with only 3Gbs of hard drive space, dial up through AOL, and a floppy disc drive.

Now my Sony Vaio laptop has a i7 processor, 8Gbs of ram, 500Gb hard drive (went smaller because this one had better speed and performance compared to some of the others offered and was cheaper than a Solid state though those things are beautiful), a 1Gb video card and 1080dpi monitor. It is a beautiful machine. My desktop I built is just about as beautiful though not as fast on the processor or the video card (I accidentally burned out the 1Gb video card I used to have and had to go with a cheap slower one temporarily).

I have loved computers and embraced how easy they can make life when you take the time to really understand them. Through this blog I will express some of the new things I have learned and when friends and patrons at the computer lab I work at ask questions I will post the questions and how to fix them on here to share with everyone.
