I work at checkout at a small gourmet shop, where I also perform stocking and cleaning duties. I will be moving to Florida where I will have a work-study job while attending Florida Tech, something which I'm ecstatic about right now
My machines:
PowerMac G4 MDD 1.5ghz 1.25GB 10.5.8 & MOS 2.7
Mac Mini C2D 10.6.8 2GHz 3GB 250GB HDD
MacBook Retina 16GB 256GB SSD 10.8
iPad 2
Underground Gamer invites (a classic game site) PM

Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I\'ll let you know if I come across it.

OS X trumps Windows on every level.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real \'Amigas\', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

I work for the State of Oregon (yeah, one of those State workers.. ;-) .
Yes, I'm in I.T.
Helped design (the technology choices, not the building ;-) the new (at the time, it's about 6 years old now) State Data Center.
Worked there for several years, but I'm now a Technical Architect for one of the State agencies..
(The only difference being a Technical Architect compared to what I used to do is that now when I tell people things, they are more likely to listen.  They still don't do them tho..   ;-)

@Crit. You're a nurse? LOL

I don't know why but i always thought everyone here worked as programmers or something similar.
Even my cat doesn\'t like me.

I work in IT for hospital.  Built the Domain Controller, fax server, VM servers ect, designed and built our network at our remote location and so on.  Fun and exciting but also very stressful and tiring.  I do restore Amigas for my hobby though and currently restored an A2000HD, 3 A1000s, an A500 and A3000.  Currently have an A4000 I need to start working on, but finding MB parts has proven a bit tougher, think it be easier to try and buy a MB from Ebay or something lol.
