Julio Franco - Executive Editor

Before the dot com bubble in the late nineties, and way before blogs were even called blogs, it was 1998 and I found myself spending countless hours on computers. I built a PC technology website from the ground up that after years of hard work and enjoyment turned into what TechSpot is today. On a more personal note, I hold a Master of Science Degree in Management Information Systems and a Bachelor Degree on the same field combined with Entrepreneurship. When I'm not working on TechSpot, I like to dedicate time to family, friends and sports. I'm a big fan of tennis, soccer, and most recently football. Catch up with me on the TechSpot Blog and/or Twitter.

Computers have been my hobby and work for some time now, ever since I got my first computer, a Macintosh Color Classic (circa 1993). It only made sense for me to major in Managed Information Systems. On a personal side, I live in Guayaquil, Ecuador. When I am not sitting in front of a monitor I enjoy spending time with friends, playing soccer, traveling (although I don't get the chance so often), and lately playing with a Canon EOS while learning a thing or two about digital photography.

I live in Sweden and have been into computing for as long as I can remember. I devote most of my time keeping track of the latest hardware and writing about it here on TechSpot. I enjoy a good game for relaxation. When I'm not at my computer I'm working as a mechanic for my friend Andreas who rides a 250cc road racing motorcycle in the European Championship, so if you ever want to meet me in real life, go to the closest racetrack to you when the EC in 250cc runs and buy me a beer ;-).

I live in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I'm a Business Management major and although I'm not fully into computer hardware, I do love the thrill of a good multiplayer game. I have done some computer programming, C language, back in the day with Julio, we are good friends and go way back. I am an outdoor person, I enjoy playing soccer and spending weekends at the beach, hanging out with my friends, watching TV or going to the movies. I'm a big Simpsons and Star Wars fan.

A lifetime of traveling from city to city and state to state gave me a lot of time to figure things out on my own - especially computers. I am fascinated with tinkering and taking apart everything I own to find out how it works. This had led me to pursue Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in school. When I am not sticking a screwdriver into a computer, I am living alone and enjoying the serenity of the nearby beaches and rivers, as well as writing, swimming, and running. I often rebuild old computers to donate to friends and family. On the technical side of things, I am an avid Linux and OSS supporter, and am big into overclocking/modifying older hardware to give it more life. I code in C++ and some x86 Assembler, and I maintain a page for satire and send-up commentary. My dreams are to go into DSP (Digital Signal Processor) design and having my written works published.

Steven Walton - Technical Editor

During my late high school years I discovered gaming on computers and by the time I finished school in 2001 it was clear my future would lay within the industry. Before I became interested in computer hardware I was somewhat addicted to online strategy gaming. This addiction also got me involved with website design as I was interested in the Internet and how it worked. Being a hands-on technical person I soon moved away from games and developed an interest for the hardware that ran and made the gameplay possible. Today I am still just as enthusiastic about computer hardware and I really enjoy how it is ever evolving. When I am not playing with computer hardware I enjoy fishing, driving and playing sports.

I started off my interest in Computers at a fairly early age, beginning with a Commodore 64, then Amstrad... I've been working on TechSpot since the earlier days of '3D Spotlight' and I would like to think have always had an interest in getting something out of nothing - hence all the tweak guides showing you just that. When not busy writing an article I am usually occupied reading a book, watching a DVD or listening to a film score. Since starting here I have finished college, now working in Equifax Ireland, got married and last October had a baby boy (well, my wife did anyway ;).


Paul Bouthiller - Technical Editor

I started using computers about 20 years ago, with a Commodore 64c and my own BBS called The Danger Zone. I left the scene for a couple years, then returned with a Compaq. From there, I started overclocking like mad, and found myself very interested in the hardware aspect of computers. Now we are TechSpot, and I must say I really found a place that I enjoy being at. When I am not computing, I enjoy my family (which is rather large these days), lots of off-road riding on my Suzuki and Yamaha, and trout fishing in a nice, crystal clear remote stream.
