TECH SUPPORT LEADER

Reasons:
Disclaimer: Well, I really doubt that I will get this because I don't have much tech support links, in fact, no more then 2 that are of decent length, plus I've heard it's very difficult, but I want to try and push this fact aside. I plan on winning you over in this little section.

My past:
I've experienced a lot of technilogical things within my life. My father teaches Communication Technology at a high school level, so I have been fortunate to gain a lot of experience with him. He's shown me almost everything he knows, and even more recently, I'm the one who is showing him about newer technology. I can't say he doesn't know a lot, but I know a lot as well, and he's said he's proud I'm one of his sons that follows in knowing his technilogical stuff.

He has another son, also plays to my advantage in learning. He is SilverDoor, a member on this forum, and he has shown me how to take apart almost anything to fix it, and put it back together. If someone was to ask me how to take apart a ps2, I could take out one of my own, and walk them exactly through it, to clean the laser, and rebuild it back to perfect health. Him and I have seemed to make a small project out of it, fixing systems and cleaning lasers.

The last of my experience I have recieved is simply from owning it. I've owned a computer for 5 or so years, and the family currently owns every new system (Ps2, Wii, 360, Ps3, plus two DSs). Owning systems have given me a massive amount of experience, and has made me able to navigate my way around a system without much difficulty.

What I can do:
Well, as said, I can take apart Ps2s, Wiis (toughest of the systems to take apart, involving a special screwdriver that we had to order online to unscrew things), and learn quickly when looking around a new system I've never explored.

I can, with very little difficulty, as I had to yesterday, install RAM, Fans, Video Cards (+ Drivers), and pretty much any part of a computer.

I can create simple websites. I know this isn't much of an accomplishment, but because my education has only gone so far to date, I haven't learned how to use much more then Dreamweaver. I plan on continuing to learn more about web site design as my education expands, and plan on running a website with a friend of mine as a career possibility.

Not only am I good at taking things apart , but also inside systems. My desktop is blank, because I've configured it to be more organized, have it on my toolbar, I am very organized within my documents, I can find and fix most issues on a computer, and on programs such as iTunes (as a post of mine demostrates).

I am most likely forgetting a lot, but these are some of the more recollectable highlights I have.

Why do I want this?
Well, either way, I will help out members with technical difficulties, but people underestimate me, because I don't have this status. I am very knowledgable on the technological things I know, and I will admit, my weakness, is not knowing much about every single tech issue, but instead, knowing my fullest potential to the subjects I do know. I feel that this great detailed knowledge is what makes me feel I deserve this title, and would no doubt help my chances of helping other members technically.

Plus, if it makes any difference, I'm creating a facebook application with another member, along with other things, as a part of the 8 members of the LiveWire Advertising team.
