 ====== About Me ======
-Hi, I'm Austin.  I'm computer nerd living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  I love the snow, hunting, fishing hiking and all the other great outdoors things we get blessed with up here.  I'm currently working remotely as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at John Deere.

+How long have I been working with computers?  Well my earliest memories are with my first computer.  It was a Commodore PC 10, basically a IBM 5160 clone.  Of all the things I miss about the old computers, CGA graphics isn't one of them.  Here's a picture of me with it.  I am probably using Printmaster to create a banner in the late 80's.

+I've had quite a few computers since then.  I recently went all aarch64 (ARM64) at my house.  I even turned off my DL360 G7 server.  Decided I didn't need that sucking the power up.  I now have an Orange Pi 5 as my desktop, an original Samsung Chromebook Plus, I converted to Linux, for my laptop, and an Orange Pi 800 to hack on.  I hung a couple 6tb drives in an USB3 raid enclosure of my BPI-R3 to serve as my NAS and replaced the computer on the TV with a Le Potato.  So far so good.  My newest computer\fastest computer prior to the switch (other than the rackmount server) was a very old Thinkpad T430.  So performance wise, its a very slight upgrade.  Power consumption should pay for the switch in a short time.
