About Me

I started using computers in 1980 with my first computer having a whopping 1k ram, 4k rom for basic, and a cassette recorder for storage. Since then I have used most computers made in the U.S. with my main systems through the years being a 512k Tandy Color Computer 3, Atari 1040STE, Amiga 500, Commodore 128, Tandy 1000HX, Macintosh Color Classic(Now with Mystic upgrade full 68040 33mhz 132megs ram 9.1gig scsi HD),  Performa 6116, Performa 6360, Blue/White G3 400mhz,  Pentium 3 1ghz with BeOS 5.03 Pro, and my Main Computer now being a Digital Audio Macintosh fully loaded 10.4.11 1.5gigs ram 120gig HD Dual layer DVD-RW ATI Radeon 9800 and a Dual G4 1.73ghz Powerlogix upgrade.  I  have owned and used many more computer systems through the years than what I have listed, but those were my main systems at the time. Formally I have an Associates Degree in Computer Networking, but the bulk of my experience has been obtained as a hobby.  Everyone asks me how did I get the name Sloar? Well no, I did not get it from the movie Ghostbusters, but there is a story to it.  When I was in elementary school, I could not say dinosaur for a while, instead I would say dinosloar. Kids being kids, my friends called me Sloar and it has been my nickname since.
