    I remember in the early 2000s helping a few family members with their slow computers. I’m a self taught computer geek because I couldn’t afford to pay someone to do this stuff for me. I’m not the best but I do know how to fix a system.

    Every Christmas I went to visit my inlaws family and every year I would end up fixing two or three systems for people … all of them were always compromised by the 12 year son with a limewire addiction.

    It was always funny to open up taskmanager in Windows and after waiting for five minutes for the panel to appear because the system was semi frozen … you’d end up with 200 tasks running, the CPU at 100% and the unit fan whirling like crazy and warming your feet under the desk.
