<Jus curious, what types of experience?

I was a mechanic in a small shop,(ie, just me!) well, it was a gas station,
for 5 years. Before that, I worked at a few used car dealerships and chain
shops. Most of the cars that needed work were GM's, so that's what I needed
to learn. Someone else bought an OTC Monitor 2000, but couldn't understand
it (old school mechanic, with stethoscope) and hated computer controls. I
used it, thought it was the coolest, later found it useless! Anyone could
pretty much pull codes with a cotter pin, and shoot the bug from there. I
borrowed a 4000 for a while, and found the multiple sensor display and the
refresh rate was a bit more useful.
Now, I work as a mechanic for the Postal Service on mail processing
machines. Most everything I do involves computers, i/o cards, plc's, etc.
Basically, I've got a pretty good understanding of both mechanical and
computer functions, but not a master for sure.
