Guy grew up in SillyCon Valley (San Jose/San Francisco Bay area) where frequent
|
|
road signs say Intel, HP, Apple, etc...
|
|
|
|
<P> Starting at an early age of 10, when Guy took the 27" console television
|
|
apart one afternoon when the parental units were busy elsewhere, they learned to
|
|
keep him at bay with his own personal electronic components. It started with a
|
|
Radio Shack 200 in 1 electronic test kit. Quickly he grew into computers
|
|
(Apple ][ series - TTL chip sets). Guy entered into an electronics course at
|
|
school, but was more capable of teaching the course than the teacher. So he
|
|
was given run of the class to do whatever projects he came up with.
|
|
|
|
<P> After high school, Guy joined the working people. He worked in IT/MIS for
|
|
such companies as Adept Technologies (Robotics), Micro Focus (COBOL), Apple,
|
|
Ibm... His interests in hardware quickly grew into interests in software too.
|
|
Reading any technical book about any OS, he quickly learned about DOS, Win,
|
|
OS/2, MacOS... Taking him to a new job title, OS Tech. He heard about
|
|
Slackware Linux. Obtained a copy, never really thought it would take off and
|
|
shelved the project.
|
|
|
|
<P> Guy operated a FidoNet based BBS for many years. Always trying to get more
|
|
out of the computer by trying different operating systems. Connectivity really
|
|
interested Guy.
|
|
|
|
<P> Continued life working for various Microsoft based companies (QualComm,
|
|
Stac Electronics). Until one day in the late 90's, he heard about Red Hat
|
|
Linux. Once again, obtained a copy, installed it... and promptly deleted
|
|
Windows (much to the annoyance of the people in his household). Ended up
|
|
buying more computers, one specific to Windows for those less apt at Linux, but
|
|
kept playing with Linux.
|
|
|
|
<P> Today, Guy runs Red Hat Linux on several systems offering dns, webhosting,
|
|
email services... to small businesses. (He also has one Windows machine,) He
|
|
also also, operates a taxicab and karaoke hosting business in Las Vegas,
|
|
Nevada.
