Complete Hardware Listing
The follow contains a list of hardware I have been exposed to in the last fifteen years. Although I wouldn't call this a complete list, there are always new hardware and technologies that I am learning about or I have forgotten to list.
The list below is in alphabetical order. After each entry there will be a confidence rating. This number (between 1 and 5) will describe my own confidence and/or exposure to the listed hardware.
I will use the following rating system:
| Rating | |
|---|
| 1 | Minimum exposure/confidence - I've read or seen the hardware and it has piqued my intrest |
| 2 | I've studied the hardware, installed it, played with it a bit. -or- I have used the hardware in the past and due to lack of use or exposure I wouldn't feel confident until I brought myself up to speed again. |
| 3 | I'm using the hardware daily and/or I am competent in it's use. |
| 4 | I've dug into the internals and know the hardware like the back of my hand. I could walk through and teach others of it's use. |
| 5 | I'm a master - I could teach a class, write an article or book on the subject. |
