"I share your interest in computers, though I stay out of the programming end, my interest is in hardware and learning/using different Software."

 

Hardware (all levels) is what I specialize in. Software (other then OS's) isn't what I'm interested in and about the only thing I know how to "program" is a router.

The_Man_Of_Steel I have the first of the Superman Archives books, I haven't been keeping up on them. I did by the book Superman from the 30s to the 70s when it first came out way back in the 70s, but haven't bought any other collected books. No money and no time to read them.

 

Some of the Actions in the early 400s that were CGCed recently sold for some nice prices on eBay. I didn't get the high bid on any of them, unfortunately. They were CGC 9.2 or higher, and are actually kind of hard to find, since the early 400s were the 25 cent books. After they raised the prices to 25 cents (from 15 cents) I stopped buying for a while, and I suspect many other folks did too, so they are kind of scarce (relatively for such a new book).

[Timulty]

Name: Timothy Juarez

Alias: Timulty

Stats: 6'1 360 lbs.

Gender: Male

 

Origin: Glendora Community Hospital, Glendora, CA

 

Super Powers: Keen intellect, terrible sense of humor, operatic singing voice and a fine appreciation for comics.

 

After living 8 years in the Hell-hole known as Azusa, Young Timothy was subjected to the harshest environs known to man; the wheatfields of Kansas. After living 2 years in Garnett, Young Timothy's Family moved to an even more lame area known as Iola. It was here that Timothy learned the values that would serve him best in life. Notably, get the hell outta dodge(no offense meant to the citizenry of Dodge, Ks) at first opportunity. This opportunity would not present itself for nigh 20 years. After a failed attempt at opera singing, Timothy decided to pursue a degree in MIS at Kansas State University. At this point he was offered gainful, though not lucrative, employment in Florida. Enjoying the environment, he started to truly enjoy life. Sadly, employment in Florida was not lucrative enough to keep him there. Eventually, he made his way back west to Arkansas. Still he wonders what would have happened, if he had married Jessica Alba.

I'll give it a go:

 

Name: John Nock

Age:34

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 215

 

Background: Raised in a military family, so born in Spokane, moved to Guam, then to Alaska, then to Indiana until 9th grade and cried all the way to Mountain Home, Ideeho. Served in the Army from 89-93 and was stationed in Germany -where the beer flows like the salmon of Capustrano - for a couple years and then DC for a couple more. I moved back to Boise when my time was up(one war and one marriage was enough for me) because I didn't know where else to go. I have bachelor's degrees in Technical Communication, Creative Writing (couldn't you tell by this post ), and Philosophy, but have been stuck being a surgical assistant for a group of Orthopods and Trauma surgeons for the last 11 years - the pays way to good to become a struggling writer though I struggle writing daily.

Favorite Bands: Vandals, Black Flag, Janes Addiction, Mariah Carey, Flogging Molly...and many more punk bands though I have no piercings, tats, or other disfigurements that would mark me as such.

 

Favorite Writers: Vonnegut, Warren Ellis, Harlan Ellison, Silverberg, Richard K. Morgan, Glen Cook, Tobias Wolf, Raymond Carver, Hemingway(off the top of my head).
