I've spent a lot of times on computers...

When i was a kid, i've messed up an Amiga 500 trying to play AGA games.

When i was a young boy, i've almost melted a Pentium 100 trying to play 3dFx games (and i cannot count the times that i've busted the autorun.bat)

When i was a boy, i've built and disassembled my pc (with a marvelous AMD Thunderbird 900!!!) dozens of times...everytime discovering a new "surplus piece" (oh...poor Thunderbird)

When i was a young man, i've dreamed about creating videogames...but i spent most of the time "taking a deep inspiration from the masters" (that was the excuse).

Then i've been in University...computer engineering...and i've learned the importance of collaboration, knowledge and...why not, smashing computers (while trying to achieve some interesting results...or while trying to play some good old games on modern hardware =>)

Now i'm loving every challenge and every new working day that i'm having, even if i'm not writing videogames (nor i'm playing them anymore...almost). And i feel that i have a great debt of gratitude to the community.

I learned a lot...i still have to learn thousand times more...but i will try to share these fragments of knowledge to "return the favor" =)
