I progressed up through several XT (8088) system then to the 286 models to the 386 models then 486 to the Pentium.
I have taught Basic Computer courses in Japan and the Philippines. In early 80's, while I Japan, I was the
president of the local IBM club. Moving from there to the Philippines at Subic base where I found no one with IBM
style computers.
I traveled often to Hong Kong where I purchased up to 30 complete IBM systems for friends
in the Philippines, then started another IBM computer club. Moved from there back to Japan where I joined a
Japanese Internet Company installing and providing Technical Support to the Local community. I work with this
company for a few years. On the side line I was providing Computer Repairs and consultants to my customers! I
moved to Orange Park Florida in August 2000 and decided to again offer my services to the local Jacksonville/
Orange Park area in computer repairs, upgrades and set-ups.
After doing this for a period of time, I joined AT&T as a High Speed Data Technical Support Specialist where I
worked until 28 May 2001 providing troubleshooting to Windows 98, ME, NT and Windows 2000 system. Troubleshooting
Broadband systems in increasing surfing speed, tune-ups, installation of new Network adapters (NIC), E-Mail setups
and a variety of other troubleshooting problems.
I have been working as a Sales Associate at Radio Shack located in the Orange Park Mall, Orange Park,
Fl since Aug 2001. I enjoy this work as it enables me to assist other people and keeps me busy.
Well I have resigned from Radio Shack after almost 4 years and took a job at Home Depot located at Fleming Island,
Orange Park. I worked there in the Hardware department for almost 2 years. When I heard that a new Home Depot would
be opening up closer to my home in Middleburg, I applied for a transfer and it was approved. I moved to The New Home Depot
on 5 September and assisted in the buildup of that store. I now work as the Infocus Captain and SSC Captain, these jobs
keep me busy. Next step I suppose will be to retire again..Hmm I guess retirement was not in my books.
I have now moved back to the Fleming Island Home Depot where I work in Hardware. As I had said earlier, Things change and now they have.
I have now retired on Social Security and drop back to Part Time with The Home Depot, as with Social security, you can only earn
a certain amount per month for the first year of retirement. I am averaging about 8-12 or so hours a week. The rest of the
time is spent on my computer work
