I am helping people online since 4 years now, currently on this site. I like To help people as far my knowledge goes...i can help with some Hardware Problems, Some parts of Multimedia and some internet related topics. But please dont ask me about Server Operating System and Microsoft Office Products.
Experience in the area
NT Administration, working in an IT department for over 5 years now, was working as Hotline Supporter for Compuserve Germany, worked for Dell and HP in technical support in Germany from 97 to 99
Education/Credentials
Microsoft Trainings sometimes.. more learning by doing
Awards and Honors
I answered more than 3700 questions in my 2 years on askme.com,
currently working in an IT Department...I dont answer any Questions about Server Operating Systems and Microsoft Office Products....As the freqent questions about Password related topics are rising up, i dont answer any Questions about "How do i logon my system when i forgot my password". Answering this would be against the laws in my country, and excuse me, i dont know you and nobody can prove me that you really want to log on to your pc and not anyone else. Thx in advance.
What do you like about this subject?
Working with Windows from 95 over 98 up to NT/2000/XP, know a lot about the traps inside microsoft ..... but i do not know everything, and i dont answer any Questions about Microsoft Serverproducts and Office Products.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
helping you helps me to stay up to date in my job
