          I was repairing and installing PC's, Servers, laptops, then they asked me to have a look at a malfunctioning printer, afterwards it worked.

                        Um. Lemme think about this for a minute.....
                        I started out with computers (liked those for a long time )
                        Then I learned how to work on laser printers...HP's mainly, then Lexmarks...
                        Afterwards, got into fixing copiers....WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!

                        Now, I fix copiers, people, computers, printers, my boss/boyfriend, do some accounting, oh and fix that C35 over there because it needs to be sold....WINDOWS 10 AHHHHH.....

                        Yep, this little girl be a tech......and all the little copiers that I have worked on are making money.

                                Gonna really go back in time. First computer i owned was a Commodore 64 with one floppy disk drive and an antenna adapter to hook it to a television. But I was involved with computer equipment long before that. Learned when in the army to work on these:
                                maxresdefault.jpg

                                Yes that is a typewriter with a paper tape reader controller attached. Then we also worked on IBM 026 keypunch machines, 088 sorters and 188 collators and a few more pieces of equipment that were current in the late fifties and sixties. But the army still used because they still worked.
                                Then went to work for Olivetti in 1977 and worked on their computer terminals and the infamous A5. There were Olivetti computer terminals that I am having no luck finding the model name for. They were straight terminals with no programming and a whopping 4 or 8 k of ram. They used a 200 baud modem and had to be on a dedicated telephone line. Addresses for each terminal was done by switch blocks with a maximum number of addresses of 32 controlled by the switches. It was what is now known as a dumb terminal. The main frame controlled it .

                                It looked very similar to this:
