Just a little fun, without saying their names ( if you want to keep it annonomous) who are some of the more famous / well known people you have serviced?

I live near Woodstock N.Y. so I have Serviced some well known musicians as well as high level executives to some prominiant companies.

I remember one musicians phone rang and his ringtone was one of his songs, he said to me "Thats my song" I said "I know" lol.

Ok, I'll stick with the no-name until otherwise specified. This guy was a professional wrestler from about 1979-2012. I met him briefly. Even at 69 years old, he is a big dude. See if you can guess who? 1 more hint? He's a 3x WCW Champ.

I setup the IT for, from the beginning, a foundation set up by one of the children of the founders of a famous fast food chain that probably all of us have eaten at. No, not McDonalds or Wendys or Burger King. They're catching up to the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation for philanthropy. The foundation has gotten big in the past decade, has their own internal IT staff of 2...but I still do the higher end stuff for 'em.

There is a family probably everyone here has heard the name of....multi generational wealth going back many decades. I do the IT for the marina of one of their children, and I've done the Starlink install and point to point wireless spreading that internet across 5x "summer mansions" at the family summer compound on an island, hope to get the business of one of their other kids....is well know on the high end car circuit in my current state.

I've worked for Steven Spielberg (didn't do his IT stuff)...was a background extra in one of his movies (Amistad). While there...met Matthew McConoughey, Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins..since they were in that movie.

OK.
I'll join the fun.
My better-half worked with this gentleman and I provided free consulting services to him on later projects.
He invented the world's first working prototype of a machine that is today maligned by many people.
Both this inventor and I hate the modern versions of these devices and I refuse to use them whenever possible.
Apparently, so do many other people.
The market value of the industry this year will be billions of dollars.
Too bad that I didn't know him when ...
