Welcome to my first blog!
Some trivia about myself:
- My little sisters have been doing stuff like this since they were 13 and here I am getting started at close to 30.
- My first program was on an Apple II. We were on the local TV news for one of the first kindergarten computer classes in my area around 1985.
- My first computer was a Commodore 64, but my first PC-compatible was a Tandy 1000.
- On the Tandy, I wrote programs in GW-BASIC to pick lottery numbers and print address labels (on the dot matrix printer) for my parents.
- My next PC (after the Tandy) came 10 years later–a Packard Bell with a Pentium 120. Since then I’ve upgraded machines average every 2-3 years. So far: Pentium II, Duron, Athlon , Pentium 4, Pentium M, Core 2 Duo.
- One of my Windows applications was featured on the ZDTV show “Internet Tonight” in 1998. ZDTV eventually became the present-day G4.
- Almost every console I’ve owned was bought years later when the system had dropped 50% off launch price. I bought my first Playstation 2 in 2005. However, I bought the Wii and PS3 on their respective launch day.
- My first “PDA” was a Casio Data Bank watch in 5th grade. My first modern PDA was a Handspring Visor (2MB).
- My first flash MP3 player was a Samsung Uproar MP3 phone with a modest 64MB of flash–years before the iPhone, Chocolate, ROKR, etc.
