I currently handle the IT support for a large local business. Although I use Windows everyday, you will find I try to use Linux and open source software anytime I can. I use Linux at home on several RPI2 devices and computers. I dabble in audio still but IoT has become a passion of mine recently. I am currently studying for The Linux Foundation System Administrator certification.

When I am not working on computers or IoT devices, you will find me outside on my family farm. Yes, you heard right. I love spending time with my wife and children on the farm. They are the reason I do what I do everyday.

You can usually find mind on LinkedIn. Send me an email any time.

Great review Anderson.If more manufactures decided to actually install some form of Linux on laptops and desktops, I feel that more people would understand how much easier it truly is.

One quick thing: Who uses touch pads anymore?(lol)

Sam,

I have been in your shoes before on that. It isn't what you want to hear or get. While I too get emotional during those times, I agree that taking time to respond was/is the best choice. Sometimes being quick to respond makes the situation worse and could be a vital failure due to basic human nature. Taking the time to "peer through their eyes" is sometimes what I have to do.
Bravo for being open and honest on a subject that we all do not like to deal with.
