How old is Sysopt?

[rtyp3]

I've been kinda wondering this for a while, how old is Sysopt?

I just noticed Scotts date registered was 01-27-99. Is that my answer

I don't know how old Scott is exactly, but I guess he isn't born on 27-1-99!!!

I think Scott is about 25 or 26!!!

Am I right Scott???

No, I was talking about something else. When you click on the profile above his name when he posts, you will see that it says the date he registered for the forum was on that date. Thanks seti

So you don't have to use that link. This place is 6 years old.. Founded at 1994 by Scott Wainer that just hit 1k. (1000 posts).

Wow Scott! I mean... I knew you had a Porsche Boxster and a BMW 323ci, but multi-millionare? Wow

Hey I got to try this. I can see it now- www.rtyp3opt.com

I still try to keep things simple. I got the boxster because I needed a hefty dose of fun, and while I think the Bimmer is a great car, I'll probably end up selling one of the two this year because it's silly to have several cars for one person.

Wow, they give the family history too.

"Family and acquaintances describe him as mature, focused, even shy"

...never would have known.

From a worldy perspective, you must have a great life, Scott.

Good article. It's great to see things work out like that. It's the " 'merican way " after all.
Way to go Scott, I'll click a few more banners for ya.

I have an idea for a website, I guess its about time I get off my **** and do it. Its scary to think that at 21 myself, I am already behind the times

That article was surprising to read...it's like reading about myself! I'm not being egotistical here but 90% of the stuff that article said is the same for me. I started playing with computers back when I was 7, changing out parts when I was 12, built my 1st computer w/no help but the manual when I was 14, and Now I have a website underway (unfortunately it's not hosted yet!). I'm also a sys.admin. at my High School. And right now I'm working for a computer company called CID COmputers & Internet here In Austin, TX!! (check out the site: www.cid-net.com ) I'm hoping to perfect my knowledge on Networks and hopefully when I have enough cash, I'll get Network+ and A+ certified.

Congratulations on your success Scott, you're right where I'd like to be...But my long-term goals are a little different, I'm looking forward on joining the Air Force and becoming a pilot...get enough flight experience so I can join NASA and become an astronaut. But that's all years ahead from now, Ill try and concentrate on current events!!

Good Luck w/everything Scott and keep up the good work!

Anyone else (besides Scott ) remember when this site used to be located at http://www.dfw.net/~sdw/index.html ? That one was still in my bookmarks until I finally went on a cleaning binge recently. Sites like SysOpt don't come along everyday, and too often don't stay. It is quite a feat to still be going strong, and have a URL as old as the one above still work.
