COMPUTING

So you'd like to know a little more about my computing interests. Well working with computers is my biggest hobby and Ive established quite a knowledge base since I got my first computer when I was about 7 years old. My current interest include graphic design and java programming. If you'd really like to know more specifics of my computing interests read on, else you might prefer to follow one of these links.

Do You Really Wanna Know More?

Well I got an early start with my first computer, an IBM PCjr, when I was about 7 years old. My next system was an Adam Colecovision, but I still more often used the PCjr. That is where I learned the brawn of my knowledge. The PCjr was an 8mhz machine, with 256k memory, support for 16 colors, and only a 720k 5 1/4 floppy disk drive. It later was upgraded to 640k memory and also added a 3 1/2 disk drive. I always wanted to push the limit and shortly found myself making programs run on this little computer that by its requirements should have been impossible to run on this machine. I grew up with good old DOS and when I was 10 I got my frist modem, a clunky 2400. I shortly discovered BBS and also subscribed to Prodigy®. I went threw the stepping stones and finally settled down in `94 with a 486 66mhz machine. In the summer of `97 I made the leap to a Pentium 166. Over the summer of `98 I upgraded to my current machine. I have had experience with numerous operating systems: DOS, Win series, OS/2, Unix and counterparts, and even touched a dreaded Mac. You couldnt possibly want to know anything else, so give it up and check out the rest of my site.
