I got my CompTIA certifications later my career in 2009. Working in information services and instructing employees on hardware and software goes way back to the latter half of the 1980s.... I remember back in " the good old days".. Finding and working on desktops XT architectures with 8080, 8088 and 286 cpu's, MS-DOS, Windows (16bit), and also people starting to use (at that time) a brand new OS called Linux was not uncommon to find. After all these years, I'm still here.
