I personally don't know anyone affected by cancer, but that doesn't mean I can't donate a machine or two for a worthy cause anyway. |

My name is Chris Rendon. I'm 26 y/o. I work for AT&T HSI as Tier 1 Tech Support (I know some of you hate us, but I also know I'm an excellent agent  ) for Spanish members. I'm the kind of person who is always willing to help no matter how. Ex-Red Cross member. I'm still looking to get a college degree (choose the wrong career some years ago) and I live in Mexico city.
I joined because it was the right thing to do. No one is save. |

Hello.
My name is Tom.
Have an uncle who just finished his second chemotherapy for colon cancer. Looks like he'll be fine but we'll have to wait and see.
Wanted to join before but didn't have the computing power but now with a new laptop with a Core Duo, I'll devote one cpu towards fighting cancer!!! |

I'm April. I'm 23 (almost 24) year old woman from Northport, AL. I'm agoraphobic so I'm at home a lot. I love computers, just built a new one back in May. I spend a lot of my free time gaming or reading.
I joined because pretty much everyone in my family dies from cancer. Young or old it doesn't really matter, although thankfully most have gone when they're older. In the past 2 years alone I've been in the room when my grandfather (May 2004 at the age of 65) and my aunt (Feb 2006 at the age of 31) died from cancer. Lung and non-Hodgkins lymphoma respectively. So you can definitely say that finding a cure is very important to me.

Ohio in the sticks and work up in Columbus developing software. Next stop, your town. Can't say why I joined, but I'm definitely glad I did. My wife and I spent about a year and a half in McConnellsville and Malta. I can't remember how to spell them now. It would have been about '83. I think it was a bad winter that year. We never got over to Athens though. That's a beautiful part of the country.:)

Hmmm, the dark force compelled me to reply.
Well my name is David, I am 31yrs old (working on 32 and gray hair). I work for at&t/SBC as a network & data center technician working on anything from DSL and just about any form of internet questions that can be posted in the direct forum. I kind of feel like a "scoop to nuts" type of tech.
I went to college at ranken tech here in the STL area for electronic and telephone communications. Worked on all kinds of things from radio, to telephone equipment while in college. Worked for the FBI for a short amount of time working on conference room setups, cybercrime, and pedophile tracking. Worked for a parking equipment company for a short amount of time, as well as an audio-visual company.
A married man as of last year around this time, my wife Jamie puts up with me. How she does it is beyond me and truthfully I probably won't question it.
Been here on bbr for just about as long as it's been here. I think Justin probably knows who I am well before now. I work with many that hang out here including MrFixitSC , MrsFixitSC , Darren , wolfdragon01 , owlhooter , Matthew , kmac1 , SQiRL , invrtdpilot , core network , wolverine_99 , RazznCain , rovernet , Dennis , dslbrian, mik0r , Beatmeup , avatarjl , Annonamoose and many others too numerous to list.
I listen to a lot of trance music, at work and at home. Yes I am a trance junkie. The guys are trying to get me to play WoW (with wolfdragon01 leading the charge!)
I am more of a hardware/software geek than anything. I build some things and repair others.

I'm 21 years old, from Montana originally but I live in Spokane (Eastern) Washington now, and I've had family members from ALL my families (I was adopted and am now married) die from cancer. I'm also a computer geek/forensic science major so just kind of interested in general. Kinda poor so I can't donate money, but CPU cycles I can donate.

Hello fellow crunchers. My name is Debbie. I'm a transplanted Yankee (Pittsburgh, PA) now living for the past 25 years in Alaska. I lived in Anchorage for 18 years before finally purchasing a home in Palmer. I'm married (25 years) and childless by choice.
I'm a number cruncher (accountant) for a large Alaska retailer. I was in public accounting for six years and I got tired of income taxes and accounting for my time (being "billable") and went back to my first love which is retail accounting.
My Mom beat colon cancer and my Dad beat prostrate cancer, but lung cancer has shown up in my Dad. He's undergoing chemotherapy and radiation. He's adamant, he doesn't want to go the surgical route. Bone cancer claimed my beloved dog Rocky's life and I figure anything that can help humans can help our animal companions.
I'm crazy for ECHL Hockey. It's something to do during the long, dark, cold winters here. Soon, we will have an Arena Football team. I have lots of other interests as well, but they are too numerous to list here.

Hey there... My name is John Greene, I'm 50 years old and I live in Newark Delaware. I've been married to my darling wife Susy for almost 26 years... We have two sons, Max is 23 and a second year law student at RWU in Rhode Island, Alex is 19 and an undeclared sophomore at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs NY.
I have work for a major office machine corporation for almost 27 years. I used to be a field tech working on production printers and copiers, and now I'm "rented out" to a financial institution to ride herd on all of their copiers, printers and fax machines. I basically come in, make sure everything is working and then wait for problems... I have a lot of time to browse the web... for now.
My hobbies are PCs, digital photography, music and reading. I walk... a lot, and family is the most important thing to me in the world.
Pictures here: »mysite.verizon.net/vze3jq4f/ this site is in serious need of updating... |

Hi!
I'm Tursiops_G and my name is John. I've been a member of BBR for almost 5 years.
I am 49, and I hail from from Norwalk, Connecticut.
I work in Electronics Engineering (25 Years now with my current company), and have been an Electronics Hobbyist ever since the age of 15.
I'm a US Navy Veteran (where I began my Career in Electronics), and the first real Computer system that I ever worked on was a DEC PDP-08/M (Yeesh, I'm REALLY dating myself now...) 
Anyway, I had been interested in Distributed Computing ever since the start of SETI@Home, but I never actually got around to doing anything with it... (Until Today).
Why did I choose UD? - I figured that if I was going to do something involving DC, Cancer Research would be the most important thing to do.

You mean I didn't already post here? I guess that is what happens when you spend more time lurking than you do posting.
For starters, I'm an old team member that fell off the grid, so to speak, but returned this year after being harshly reminded of what it is that we are fighting. Four people close to me battled cancer for the first or second time in 2006 alone and that feeling of helplessness is actually lessened when I hear my CPU fan buzzing all night because the client is running.
My name is Nicole, by the way. I am a 32 year old single (divorced) mom of two fuzzy children: Muffin and the new baby dane, Bailey.
Second only to my pets is my love for all things tech so when I do shed my loner skin and venture out, I'm usually at Best Buy (or PetSmart, of course), a bookstore or the library.
Anyway, that's my condensed story. It is nice to meet all of you! |

I am fire100 and my name is Mark. I have been around for some time on both the site and Team Discovery. I recently just had my fourth anniversary crunching in November.
I live in Twin Lake Michigan and my passion is teaching and my weather. I upload data to my site , Weather Underground, Michigan's Adventure as well as our local TV station and NOAA using the CWOP program. In addition I am an official weather watcher for our local TV station WZZM-13 as well as through ARES/RACES.
I enjoy life with my wife and two boys. We our season pass holders to the amusement park above and visit at least twice a week in the summer. I love to ride wooden rollarcoasters with my kids.
I work for a small to midsize company and perform many roles from Network Administration to Accounting, if it's a front office function, I can do it. I am also continuing my education going for my MBA with a concentration in Leadership Studies (only seven more classes to go!).
