Although I primarily handled organizational tasks for many years, I never lost my keen technical interest in IT. Now, I am delighted to return to my roots here in Austria: the hands-on work with hardware, diagnostics, and system and network administration. The concept of "PCs für alle"This project immediately appealed to me because it perfectly combines social support and technology. My work here is a wonderful opportunity to contribute my experience, adopt proven working methods from my colleagues, and make a meaningful contribution to supporting society."

"Pressing colorful, flashing buttons. And colors." I would have answered as a child when asked about my dream job. And somehow, I was able to fulfill that dream in various fields: from electrician to typographer, from editor to broadcast planner, from support to operations—and now to system administrator in a technical office. And—flashing lights everywhere! While looking for buyers for PCs that were no longer usable in the company but were still good machines, I stumbled upon Peter and "PCs for All." I liked the idea so much that I had to get involved immediately.

I grew up many decades ago in Burgenland, near the Hungarian border. The introduction of free textbooks made it possible for me to attend secondary school. After graduating, I moved to Vienna and stayed. At the age of 38, I earned a degree in general mechanics. Until my sudden hearing loss, I worked in a bicycle repair shop where welding, soldering, and frame alignment were still done. I also worked as a building caretaker and served as a works council representative for my colleagues. I learned about the "PCs for All" initiative through a newspaper. I'm delighted to be involved and to be able to make a small contribution!

A do-gooder™ by conviction. In addition to my main job as an ICT administrator, I travel to all sorts of concerts, festivals, and events on the side to avoid the daily grind of an office job and also get in some physical work.

In my free time, I can usually be found at concerts, hikes, or climbing walls.

Andreas Roncat
(Geo)informatics specialist, since 2018 teacher in IT vocational training at the Protestant Gymnasium and Werkschulheim in Simmering, a jack-of-all-trades (with emphasis on jack-of-all-trades). The first contact with the association took place in autumn 2021 – the first and only time we used the salutations "Dear Mr. Bernscherer" or "Dear Mr. Roncat". Despite these initial formalities, exciting projects between the association and the school have since developed continuously on various topics, be it PC and laptop hardware and software, servers, network technology, etc. Almost a win-win-win situation, in my opinion. In addition to visits to the workshop with and without students, I can also sometimes be found at the association's stand at the market in Neubaugasse or at the volunteer fair.

"From my 25 years as a German as a second language teacher, I knew only too well how many children are left behind in our education system. And in times of homeschooling, it has simply become catastrophic for too many students!"
