Hello All - Decided to step out from the shadows and join this merry bunch

[DJ Evil Ed]

My name is Frank, yeah I know - whats up with the Evil Ed? It's a character from a movie called Fright Night and I happened to look like him so in college everyone called me Evil Ed and it stuck. I am 56, all 5 of my kids are adults now, I quit my job, bought a Mazda RX-8 Fast n Furious Drift car and went back to school for my bachelors degree in Computer Management with a specialty in Cyber Security and Ethical Hacking. It was either that or an affair for my mid life crisis - the wife thinks I made the right choice I am still debating LOL. As a kicker to all this I jumped into this wonderful world of PM recovery from electronics and gold prospecting as my hobby. I have had limited success and most of that was because of the posts I read here. I have enjoyed the information I have received and decided it was time to make myself known and start asking some of my own questions as dumb as they might be. So look for me in the forums.
