Computers
|
I've had owned a computer for the past two years and during this period I have spent
a significant amount of my free time learning about various aspects of competing.
This has included using a wide variety of packages including those mentioned in the additional
skills section. I have also built my own computer during this time. I had no prior knowledge
of how to do this before I started and consequently had to overcome many difficulties along the way.
These difficulties made completing the working computer especially
satisfying. This was a good learning
experience in how to independently gain knowledge of a completely new subject matter and how to
practically implement that knowledge.
