About me

<p>Licensed Professional Engineer.  I am presently starting up a Professional Engineering Consulting business after providing engineering services to the Empire State for 27 years.  Began FORTRAN programming in 1974 as a student in a new and  "experimental" high school course......Computer Science!</p> <p> </p> <p>In the early '80's after establishing a voluntary in-service training program for engineers on the use of micro-computers in engineering design, I learned how difficult it was to teach old dogs new tricks. </p> <p>My computer use now is no longer programming-intensive.  Except for the computers I have built, I have only owned Dells.  Quite satisfied, really.  The old Dell Community Forum was an incredible source of information.  I've learned more there than any and all other places combined.  I don't believe the new forums are salvageable in their present form.  I think the greatest tragedy is the information from the old forum appears to be lost forever.</p> <p> </p> <p>Spare time activities are usually outdoors and involve my son.  Current computer-related "experiments" are multiple booting, imaging and 64-bit Operating Systems (XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Linux).</p>
