I’m a self-proclaimed computer-geek who lives and breathes computers every day. I got my first computer when I was only 10 years old and since then I’ve been consumed with learning everything I can about technology. On average I spend over 60 hours each week in front of computers. That adds up to nearly 100,000 hours since I started playing with computers all those years ago!

Naturally as various technologies began to blur I had to add digital phone systems, digital copiers, and PDAs to my list of things to be knowledgeable about. More and more clients were asking to integrate their copiers into their network for scanning purposes... or to be able to get their email while out of the office on their PDAs and cell phones. So off for more training - this time for digital phones and copiers, but not just installation & maintenance, but also for planning as well.
