hey guys...my name is tony, and i am a freshman at carnegie mellon university in the united states. i am studying electrical and computer engineering/computer science (and might minor in piano performance...not really sure yet). i read cdfreaks regularly, but usually dont post very often (hence the low post count). i first started reading about 4 years ago when i was interested in cd copy protections (i read this forum and the clone.cd portal). ah, i remember the days of clone-cd and people arguing about why exact copies of discs were so much better than emulators. times have definitely changed now. but i am definitely obsessed with optical drives and media. i have a benq 1655 back at home that i am missing greatly. :/
besides being a computer nerd...i like to play piano and soccer, listen to music (mostly classical or rock), read books, and watch movies from imdb's top 250 list. i am in the same boat as Sexy_Southerner and wazzy as far as relationships are concerned. thats about it for me!
