Though they haven't talked much since Patrick moved from California to New Hampshire in 2006, Billy has been a great friend in the hobby of computer repair! He taught Patrick's CompTIA A+ class at Merced College, and referred some of Patrick's first clients to his business. Patrick was always fascinated with all of the gadgets that Billy got through various sources, such as a tablet (which looked like a gigantic Gameboy at the time) that had wireless connectivity, before wireless Internet and tablets came out in full force. The tablet was probably 4" thick, and had terrible battery life, however Patrick was still fascinated by anything new. Billy also introduced him to one of his friends that programmed in Microsoft FoxPro. Patrick was always up to learn more, and Billy is an expert in computers - especially computer hardware, as well as software installation and configuration, and Cisco networking.
