I am most proud of being able to play Starcraft or Counterstrike for hours and not eat, only to fall back asleep again.

The fact that I am a senior network engineer, worked on computers and newtoworks for over 15 years (started at Wang, remember them?),have a six figure salary and NEVER went to school (barely finished HS), no formal training (all self taught), have no certifications (or very few). And now work at one of the largest entertainment companies in the world (wont tell ya!). :)

And if I had to answer the original question, it'd be my ability to make a workaround for any problem I encounter. Whether it be programming up a quick solution or using duct tape, I can solve almost any problem with a little work.

It pays a new computer everytime we break down the door of a warez monger or script kiddie. :)

<< << Getting the girlfriend addicted to net pr0n. >>

Any chance you've written a FAQ on how to go about doing that? >>

I'll take a copy or two of that also.... ;) ;)

My MADSkILLz include the wonderful art of scrapping pieces of automobiles and household appliances to be implemented into cooling for the beast here....it's also a testimony to how pathetic I am that I remember seeing a dual processor 386sx 25Mhz overclocked to 33Mhz on the cover of a mag back in the day...selling for 11G's!!! I guess everybody starts somewhere....
