When I was a little kid, exactly when I was 5 years old, I started playing 2D video games with my father's first computer which was very expensive at that time. I was enjoying my time like I was doing something so special. I am very thankful for my father and also for my mother who brought meals, because I didn't want to waste time by goingto the kitchen and I am very proud of them. I am very glad that I had such a great family like this. And I had the opportunity to move a computer mouse at an earlier age thanks to Windows 95 which was the newest interactive operating system. I used to watch my father working with Microsoft Excel and Word which I did not know their names yet. I was like someone who was watching Mozart performing a play and he did not even know the basic of music. But, it was a great experience.
Then I moved to discover Windows 98. I started to know how to install software. I remember that the first 3D video game, which I installed, was World Cup 98. I did not know how to create games like that, but I enjoyed the play. When I was 10 years old, I started to know why CDs are made for. I received a gift from a CDs seller for my first pertinent question which was: what does it mean 700MB? The answer was convincing, it means that we can store about 700MB of data. And the second question that came to my mind was: what does it mean 80 minutes? The answer was: you can put 80 minutes of audio stuff. Also, I was able to help people to repair their personal computers and I was not confusing the central unit with the central processing unit which was very common at that time. Moreover, my first computer had a Pentium II CPU which was equipped with a little cache memory. I have witnessed the growth in size of the memory cache from Bytes to Megabytes, through Kilobytes. I wished INTERNET had been at my home that time, I could be a good self-educated. Fearlessly, I opened my central unit in order to discover the new world which was inside the box. And then, the adventure began to know the inside world dealing with buses, RAM, ROM and mother-board.
At the age of 12, I was famous in my city as the one who does such things like the installation of an operation system which was not given to everybody. I remember that I was answering several English questions, because I had to install an English Windows 98 operation system, in order that I could install the Arabic language for my father.That's why I am so ambitiou
