It looks like 4 decora style switches, 3 button each, probably low voltage. I don't recognize the brand. Looks similar to crestron, but different.

I point the slot at 1 o'clock, sometimes at 7 o'clock.

If I get called to troubleshoot something I installed, and the screws aren't the way I left them, I'll know someone has been messing with it.

Not that kind of "whizz".

"Wiz" as in Mr. Wizard, a kid's show that originally aired in the 50's, and was revamped in the 70's.

Nickname I was given many years ago, by a foreman, while working as a Maintenance Electrician in a refinery.

Seems when no one else could troubleshoot the problem, they would send me to figure out the problem, always managed to get things going again.

Foreman also said I looked like the 70's TV character because of my glasses.

1997 is the year my stepson gave me his old computer and first set me up on email.

Compac pizza box with a whopping 2 gig hard drive.

Thought I'd never need that much until he loaded Windows on it.

Windows took up nearly the entire drive.
