    Born in 1956, learned to program in FORTRAN in 1969 on the University's 
mainframe (IBM 360).  First personal computer was a TRS-80 Model 3 in 
1982.  I still have my second computer, TRS-80 Model 4, in good working 
condition.  Worked on the SAGE (AN/FSQ-7) system in the Air Force in 1983. 
Learned Unix and C in 1984 and am still doing it as a Senior Research 
Programmer for Penn State.  Worked on HP3000 systems (hardware 
maintenance) in 1986-88, everything from Series III to Model 6X.
