For the last 25 years I have worked in Networking and Computing. I have worked with Linux and Windows Servers, Enterprise WiFi, and Video Surveillance. I have worked as a Field Technician, Manager, Trainer and Business Owner for several IT Companies. On many occasions I have taught large audiences of thousands of people.
"I cannot thank you enough! My virtual disk ran out of storage and I could not figure out how to re-size it. I searched the manual and spent many hours on forums trying everything, nothing worked. After watching the video about resizing drives I finaly got it! Thanks. — anyone using Virtualbox should get this course!"
