It was either a very lucky event or I actually did edit a NIC driver, oeminfo file and made an ISA Ethernet card function when before it was not seen by Windows. Now this was wfwg3.11 enviorment, and I know the technical knowledge is lighter in compare to todays complex devices. But the event did make me feel quite ? powerfull ? for lack of a better term. Where do novice wanna be's hop on this wagon ? Wikpedia ? or hours learning assembly language terms? 8 years in Jr College study C++ ? Please post how it was that you started, so that other may also choose to follow same path and learn the trade or gift, perhaps it is a gift..? Thanks
