Expert Profile: James Milligan

Expertise: Experience with Windows 2000, XP, and of course Vista. I currently run Vista Home Premium, as it is the most common, on my main computer. I also have an XP desktop, and a Linux laptop - all bases covered! I'm eager to answer any question you throw at me. If you have a question, and I know the answer, then I will answer it straight away. If I don't know the answer, I will search the internet and ask other experts in the field about it - I am determined to answer every question asked!

Experience in the area
I've used Windows computers since an early age, and have used Vista since the day it came out. I use it on my main computer, and customise it a great deal. I regularly help people setting up their computers, and maintaining them. I'm used to novices and experts alike, and don't believe in just literally fixing a problem - I like to explain why the problem occurred and how it can be fixed in the future.

Organizations
St Ambrose College

Education/Credentials
(Currently taking GCSEs, finish Summer 2009). GCSE ICT: A* Coursework (Full Marks) Exam: B Overall: A
