I'm 20 year USAF veteran from the end of the Viet Nam war through Desert Storm. With my electronics background computers was a logical step for me. I've been on the internet since before there was a web. Today I'm a Linux systems administrator with about 28 years experience. My interests include woodworking, playing blues guitar, guns & shooting sports, motorcycles, eatable gardening, camping in the mountains, science fiction, freshwater aquariums and last but not least my Grandson Odin. I have the same problem with shiny things that Dory has.

Personalized Advertising
To enable personalized advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies. Those partners may have their own information they’ve collected about you. Turning off the personalized advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads or impact Etsy's own personalization technologies, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.
This type of data sharing may be considered a “sale” of information under California privacy laws. Turning off personalized advertising opts you out of these “sales.” Learn more in our Privacy Policy., Help Center, and Cookies & Similar Technologies Policy.
