After installing my first CD-ROM and sound card along with required ram upgrade in my 486, I was hooked. I get great satisfaction building things, computers are so much fun to put together and then power on and to see them function is a huge payoff. I went for years not tinkering with any software or hardware and now Iā€™m quite happy to be back at it. Nowadays my focus is building VMs on my hypervisor and deploying apps into my local EKSA cluster.
