Expert Profile: DaZ FiZzle

Expertise:  I can assist you with common problems and over-looks when assembling your pc. I can also assist with basic and advanced OS errors (XP & XP Pro Corporate are my specialty). My main weakness is Mac, and any other non-windows based operating systems. I'm also really rusty on anything prior to 98SE. I can offer advice on a range of software, codec, and driver needs. If you need help finding the right software for a job chances are I can point you toward it.

Experience in the area
18 years total experience. About 2 years of that is from formal training in a classroom setting, the rest is through my own trial and error and of course from the very helpful tutorials found on the internet.

Organizations
TCDE Tech Office

Education/Credentials
2 years at college and am currently working as a technician for the local department of education

Awards and Honors
T.A.G. (Talented And Gifted), Century 21 sponsored office award for exceeding 100WPM typing speed

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  The practical application of chemical-based data transfer technologies.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  1 MILLION THANKS FOR ALL THE GOOD FEEDBACK!!! YOU GUYS ALL ROCK HARD!!!
What do you like about this subject?  I like to be challenged with new questions and problems. I've already had to do a little bit of learning to adequately answer some of the questions presented to me.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  if you're buyin a new mobo and you really don't want to reformat and reinstall windows, or you need to buy some time to back up files before you do, then try to find a mobo with the same BIOS type as your last one. 9 times outta 10 you can avoid a reformat this way, and since there's only a handful of different widely-used BIOS's out there it's not as hard as you might think to find a good match.
