Hey everyone!
Introducing myself seemed like a good idea. I'm Kris, a 22 year old guy who grew up in a tiny town in the foresty middle of New York state. I've always had a healthy (or unhealthy, to some) obsession with technology that was, for the most part, beyond my years. As a child I used to disassemble broken VCR's with a friend for fun. As I got older, my attention turned to PC's. My first computer, in 2003 mind you, was a Pentium 1 Packard Bell desktop (don't recall the specific model) and even though the tech was leagues behind the top of the line at the time, I loved it. My next machine was viewed as a step back by some, as it was an IBM Personal Computer XT with an monochrome monitor. Once again, love at first sight.
As time went on I amassed a huge collection of classic videogames, ranging from the Atari 2600 up until the PSone (my focus was mainly systems at least 1 generation behind). The collection spanned over 15 consoles and 300+ games. My friends all thought this was cool, but what they never understood was my Macintosh 512Ke That I would pour over for hours, or my Powerbook 1400cs, Powerbook 520, IBM desktops, Commodore 64... You get the idea. They also didn't understand why I had a need for all this stuff, when a (in comparison) unused Alienware M15x sat on my desk gathering dust, haha.
Sadly, life got hard and much of my collection (Games, computers, records, 8-tracks, cassettes, VCR's... You name it, I collected it) was sold off so I could fund my recent, life-changing move to Richmond. And now we are in the present! That's enough with the life story! Basically, I'm a techy-geek who loves any tech older than I am, loves comics, loves collecting action figures and... I am a baker. Which is probably the one piece of the puzzle that seems out of place. :D
