Who the heck are these guys?

I'm hoping this section will be somewhat interesting. At the very least it will give you a glimpse into our bizarre lives.

Vitals I'm 29 years old and graduated from Virginia Tech in 1995. I moved out to California when Intel hired me. I got fed up with the big corporate entity and left for VM Labs in June, 1998. I can't complain too much about Intel though as I did meet my lovely wife there. She was a circuit designer and I was a logic designer on Merced. She was smarter and got out a lot sooner than me. Circumstances forced me to leave VML in 2001 and now I'm at NVIDIA Corp.

Anticipated Upgrades Okay, I finally bought a new video card. What's next for the old 'puter? If flat panel displays get cheap I might spring for one of those.
