My adventure with computer systems started when I was 7 years old. My parents bought me a Philips MSX VG8020B. This was the eighties and everyone was playing games on ZX Spectrum. But for the Philips MSX VG8020B there were virtually no games and I spent my time trying to learn to code Basic. When i was 13, I got an IBM PS/1. Again, I was riding a different wave from my friends because they all had computers with black and white interfaces and I had a coloured scheme one. But I was not a fan of the IBM and one day I managed to open the box and pop out a little piece (an EPROM) and I learned a great lesson about computer systems: “if you don’t smash it with an hammer you might fix it”. By that time I got into an MS/DOS class and I started getting very interested in computer virus. In fact, I collected them (during that time virus were not the threat they are today). I really enjoyed playing with them, even though they did very little and some of them were really just graphical animations. I recall a situation when some “friend” lent me a game, that I copied to my hard drive. A few days later, he made me a visit and somehow ended up deleting the game from my computer. I got really obsessed with getting it back and spent days trying to recover the game. Finally, I found a command named “undelete” and managed to get the game back (NOTE: during that time the World Wide Web didn't exist :D ). When I was 18, I “unplugged" myself from computers and I started a new adventure where I went to live in the UK and developed great skills as a “dish washer”. Until the age of 24, I have done a several different things professionally. I was a mailman, worked on a graphic arts printing company (curiously next to “Timex”, the place where the Spectrum 2048K had been assembled) and also worked at Metropolitano de Lisboa where I was an “Apontador”. But until then I had never worked in IT. Since 2002, I have dedicated all my
