In The Court of the Royal Geeks

Howard Sherman -  MCSE, MCSA, MCP, CCNA, BOFH

AKA Lord Random, The King of All Geeks

Howard has been in the computer industry practically since it began.  It all started in 1982 at a Radio Shack store on the corner of Avenue X and Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn when Howard was just 12 years old.  His first computer experience involved a TRS-80 Model III and a classic computer game called Zork. The rest, as they say, is history.

Howard wrote his first computer game a few months later on his own computer, a Commodore 64.  He then went on to the Atari 800 before he discovered the Epson QX-10 and the worlds of CP/M and MS-DOS.

Before the Internet became what it is today, Howard used, owned and operated a few Bulletin Board Systems throughout the 1980s. The Bulletin Board System was a modem-based online access system that pre-dates the Internet itself. (Howard still acts like a BBS Sysop from time to time though he won't admit it).

When the Internet was in its infancy in the early 1990s, he was already surfing the World Wide Web first with Lynx (a text browser) and later with Mosaic, the Internet's first graphical web browser. Mozilla's Firefox, Opera, Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer didn't exist back then, you see. When the Internet took off, Howard was there to launch an Internet Service Provider (ISP)  that went from delivering local access to consumers and small businesses eventually evolving into the role of a senior executive with a publicly traded company that delivered nationwide access to government and corporate clients from coast to coast.

Now, over 25 years later, Howard still plays games on his Atari 800XL and writes text adventure games for RoyalGeeks' parent company Malinche. Being an entrepreneur, Howard saw a need for on-site and instant computer services to help the masses make the most of the technology in their lives. And so Royalgeeks.Com was born. You can read the many testimonials from satisfied clients by clicking here.

Apart from his credentials as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), Microsoft Certified Systems Administrator (MCSA), Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) and a Cisco Certified Networking Associate (CCNA) , Howard attended Baruch College at the City University of New York, Middlesex County College and the University of Phoenix and holds degrees in management and accounting.

In his spare time, when not leading his geeks into glorious battle against spyware, viruses and computer crashes, Howard works towards achieving  the newest Microsoft credential - The Microsoft Certified Information Technology Professional (MCITP) certification and writing a new spy thriller/murder mystery for Malinche.

Does Howard spend any time away from a computer? Yes.  And on those rare occasions he enjoys travel, golf and cooking gourmet French food in his own kitchen.

Howard and his family live in Old Bridge Township.

Michael Ferrador - MCP, CCNA

Lord of Linux

Even before the Atari 2600, Mike's Family got a Sears Pong game. His father was into electronics and they built Heathkits to equip a workbench with a VTVM and oscilloscope. They did study towards a Ham radio license, though Mike did not become N2KRA till later. He does remember seeing the Altair on Popular Electronics cover, and Played Colossal Cave on an Apple at one of the first computer stores.

Mike started with am Atari 400 in his pre-teen years. To squeeze as much from an 64k of RAM, his first step away from BASIC, was Forth.

At NJIT in 1985, they provided 256k 4.77Mhz PC clones. He immediately installed every "forbidden", non school-supported upgrade: 8087, 640k, 20M HD. Still Dreaming of Smalltalk and Lisp he had read about in Byte magazine, But still before the protected mode and expanded memory, He discovered Methods (a text based ST-80) available in a student computing lab/library.

Got his first computer job, foot in the door of a mainframe shop, by delivering reports. Of course the printer operator would take breaks, giving him a chance to first learn to feed the refrigerator sized laser. Then learned the spooling and SNA "network" commands. When the Telecommunications group was formed, he got in at the network help desk. He found the Original FORTRAN Adventure on the system. Discovering that a reporting system, ADRS, he used was actually APL underneath, found the 1 Graphics/APL terminal in the whole company, luckily in the same building, to explore after hours.

Wanting some of this power at home, he starting using Unix first on a 7300/Unix PC/3B1, then A/UX on a Mac.

All jobs after that were PC based. At first stand-alone, then Novell, SCO (w/ terminals), WinNT, Solaris(SPARC), leading to the Internet & Cisco IOS.
Writing and modifying d/FoxBase apps increased throughout this time.
 

At home Linux and the free software movement took hold. A multi-platform LAN is at the heart of Mike's home to this day.

Mike lives in Matawan with his wife Cindy and their guinea pig and computer collection.
