Hello from QLD!

[Gareth]

Tell us a little about yourself
Hey, my name is Gareth and I'm originally from Wales but now live in Brisbane in Australia!

I'm a young'un who completed college back in Britain. I will be going to either the TAFE colleges or universities here (sort of arrived at the wrong time for education here! :P), however to pass the time I'm looking at different certifications to complete.

Eventually, one day, I'd like to run my own IT business, and after short term browsing of this forum, I feel that I've seen tips and knowledge that will benefit me in the future (so already thanks guys (and ladies!), and maybe I could input in a few threads as well.



What country do you live in?
Australia

What is your current experience? (Years working on computers, in the business, certifications etc..)
Well I started as a wee lad with my first PC just observing and seeing how different things with a computer works.

Then during my school and college years I helped out with the technicians within their department; mainly troubleshooting which most of the time it was.

The last two years before I emigrated I worked with a major high street/retail park retailer, myself and a few others offered computer services to be different from our fellow stores in the area. Makes me feel good helping other people!

So yeah that's me; guess I have a long road to go through! /novel :P

Are you self looking to start a computer business, already have one, working for someone else or something else?
One day I'd like to run my own business

Anything else you would like to share? hobbies etc..
Into computing and gaming (with PC or PS3). Then despite being 'larger than life', I like watching and participating in sports, such as football, rugby union and the American sports. Trying to understand Aussie rules at this moment in time!
