About

Oh oh, I’ll do this in my awesome third person voice…

Born in 1982, Shaun has been playing with computers since his first 40-pound integrated machine landed on his kitchen table while he was still in kindergarten. Outfitted with a green monochrome screen, dual 5.25″ floppy drives, and a loud clicking sound, his interest in computers was born. Eventually he moved up to a 386 with DOS and Windows 3.1, Commander Keen wasted his time and he still cherishes the floppy it came on. A 200Mhz Pentium with 2GB hard drive, 16MB graphics, and 128MB RAM catapulted him into Windows 98, AOL 3.0, and hours of Mechwarrior 2 with his friends. A Dell R450 with a 450Mhz PII, 20GB Hard Drive, 64MB video, and 256MG RAM gladly accepted the first in home broadband powered by Excite@Home. Hours were spent peering into neighbors shared drives and printers. A custom built AMD Athlon Thunderbird went through three processors in his first attempts at overclocking. After that, the hardware passing through his hands all become a blur of hyperthreading, RAM disks, MMX, caches, and protocols. Suffice to say, a love of hardware and software was born.
