What's your profession? Age?

Greetings gentle readers,
I'm a 54 year old Gemini (with Scorpio rising) and work as a technical consultant for a German car company. The real job breakdown would be that one of our dealer technicians can't fix "your" car and calls me to pass the buck. I have no-one to pass the buck to and so every phone call from the dealer is an interesting challenge. I don't always have an answer, some days a full moon is my best shot at a fix.

My current system is worth about 15K retail but my software expenditure is obscene. I love this site and the diverse personalities it harbors.

Riverside County (CA) Deputy Public Defender. 48 years old. Only represent innocent criminals. System is about 5K.

Nasty wicked hedgie. 34. Only short really bad companies :^). System about $20k(?) retail but all bought used/demo.

Age 43, DSP Engineer. System retails for around $18k but was substantially less through connections. Also sounds better than it should thanks to some DIY magic and a huge amount of sweat equity in building a dedicated LEDE room.

Professional engineer (civil). Licensed professional land surveyor. I opened my own business 4 years ago and work primarily as a sub-consultant to the larger firms. One of my financial goals while busting but in college was to have a cost no object sound system. Yes self actualization is a good thing!!!
