Computer Engineer and Repairer, Web Site Programmer
Electronics and Communications Technician.
I was always into technology and gadgets, since the age of three! From the age of 10, I struggled to build a Radio using old valves on my bedroom floor. My Father was rather concerned that I would electrocute myself with the need for a 240 volt A/C mains transformer. 18 months later I had a music education listening to local AM radio station's 5CL and 5AN. There came later revisions, including a home brew AM radio transmitter. At primary school, I was soon nicknamed 'Marconi' after the famous inventor of radio (Guglielmo Marconi (outside this site))! In later years, I qualified as a electronics technician, and spent many years servicing radio's, stereo's, televisions, and two-way radios. In 1982, I bought my first real computer (a Microbee). I was hooked! In 1985 I shifted my work skills and training to include Computer Technology. I am still learning new skills even today... computer's keep changing.
I administrate and run peter bowey Computer Solutions; as a IT support service. I am fond of Linux, Macintosh OS X and tolerate Windows.
