ABOUT ME

I am currently retired, quite happily, in Connecticut. I still mess around with computers, play video games (iPad and Nintendo Switch), some traveling, and just generally enjoy my retirement.

A am married to my high school sweetheart. We have three kids and many grandchildren. Some of the grandchildren aren't technically related to us we we "adopt" them as needs arise. We do enjoy all of them.

As a programmer/systems engineer I have worked on IBM pre-mainframes (1401/1410), mainframes (System 360/370 series), network systems (Novell), early PCs (the Sol 20 was my first kit PC), and am currently in the Apple camp with a couple of laptops and Mac Minis. I also have several various Linux systems running on Raspberry PI and Intel NUC boxes. I do like to play with all of them.

My musings here are mostly done for my own enjoyment. If you get something from them then that's just "gravy" ...
