FLORIN TIBU
Ahoy there! I am a sociologist and I've joined Softpedia's ranks back in the summer of 2006. After years of writing stories about the audio industry and software reviews, I've switched to gadgets, and then I've "inherited" the Drivers section of the site.
Since late 2009, I'm the guy who makes your printers work ;)
Besides my work, I enjoy riding my motorbike, tattoos and being grim when gigging with my metal band, Bucovina.
Still not married after all these years and getting along with my two cats.
Feel free to contact me for driver-related issues.
