    I manage a construction/ building security company. We supply all types of security equipment for construction sites. It can be as dull as it sounds but alot of the time I can just look the internet up to feed my gamecube habit.

    My full-time job is electronics sales. In my off time, I manage several local business's hardware and software setups. If it wasn't for living in the middle of nowhere, I would probably have more clientel and make it my full time job. (My profile just lists the closest city someone would recognize, I'm close to an hour away.)

    Don't worry barc0de, during the day i'm a normal guy, but during the night i become a porn addict. I was just jocking, during the day i'm not at my home so I don't use Internet, and when i get home at night i have to study, and then I use the computer for checking mails, view forums, and all thet kind of things. See you later.

    Business administration student, ex-game design student (one of those game schools which are complete BS). Not totally into business but hey!, you can be a suit, know shit about coding and yet get a nice job in the industry, but I've heard enough stories of programmers and such being out in the cold for having no idea about how business are done.

    That sounds familiar! I've worked the last 3 summers in a school rolling out upgrades etc. Are you an RM school, or are you sensible and run away from them screaming whenever possible?

    Barc0de: if you knew how many men/boys in their teens now adays who has a computer. has porn on it, then you would be shocked, I was 11 when I got into puberty, and when I was 12. I had porn in my bedroom. So what is normal, and what is legal are two different things.

    Well, I saw two porn flicks back then too, at a friends house. But it was first when I was 11 I got into puberty. And well, the internet was not happening back then. Remember I am after all born in 1982. So there are years between you and me, on that point.

    Probably 8 years old. But don´t you mean, "how old were you in 2nd/second/2. grade ?"
