~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Again, Thanks for taking the time to allow me to interview you.

When did you join the Team? Approximate date is ok if you don't know the specific date.
October 2003

If there was something recent that you did that you wanted your fellow teammembers to know about, what would it be?
Don't buy a dell for folding on

What is your EOC (extremeoverclockers) stats link?
EOC[/color]

You do not have to give specifics (address), but what State do you live in, and if you don't mind telling, what town? (town is not required, but if not a town, a general direction and distance from the nearest 'big town/city' would suffice)
Near Portsmouth, England

How did you initially hear about F@H?
i First heard about F@H whilst browsing around the Overclockers Forums and decided to join the Team

After starting, why do you continue to Fold?
I continued to fold as i had a couple of pc at the time always on 24/7 so i thought why not.

What do you do for a living?
I'm a mechanical engineer

What do you do for fun?
Work seems to take up most of my time at present,i do a bit of Jet skiing when the weather's ok(not that often)and trying to get my head around fedora as my main operating system.

Is there anything special you do in your spare time that you really enjoy?
Ice skating with the kids , but not enough

Time to spill your guts. What are the stats of your main folding rig? Why is it your fave? What all do you use the rig for?
AMD 64 X2 4200+ @2400Mhz, 2x512 muskin redline XP3500,ECS KV2 Extreme Mobo,Ati X1800 Graphics, fedora core 6 main OS,Dual boot WinXP for games. it's not really my fav pc, but it's all mine had it for years, constant upgrade project in an acylic case now,it's probably in it's worst configuration ever at the moment 100% stable but doesn't overclock for toffee

Do you have a Borg-Farm? If so, how many computers, and what are they? (CPU, RAM)
Not really got a borg farm, more a small holding @home have ,athlon xp 3000,1gb pc2700(24/7), Athlon xp2700, 512mb pc2100(24/7), Dell Inspiron 6400.T2300 core duo ,,@work Dell Dimension c2d 6300 1Gb DDR2 Vista Business(Slower than the laptop, P4 3ghz, 512mb and a pentum d820, 512mb, 11 folding Cores in total folding.

What are your future goals? What do you most want to accomplish with your life?
My main goal is to get my business a little bigger and more stable so i don't have to work so many hours, and stop smoking

If there is something you want to tell the team, then spill your guts! What have I missed in my questions that could help the team learn more about you and who you are?
I'd like to tell the team Well Done everyone for making , this team the greatest Team, no so much in F@H rankings (but we are good), but in the sense of community it gives and the individual efforts put in by all the team members.
