My first introduction to computers was when I became a mainframe assembly language programmer working for the government in 1972. I subsequently left the Civil Service and after several years doing non-computer stuff (during which time, as a hobby, I became proficient at Z80 assembly code) I studied electrical and electronic engineering and became a computer engineer during the Windows 3.0. era. I initially worked on SCO Unix systems and taught myself shell scripting in order to produce test routines to make my job easier. Over subsequent years I became a Windows system administrator and ever since, whenever I`ve thought I think this process could be automated, I`ve tried, with reasonable success, to teach myself the necessary skills. Now that I`m retired, I want to keep the old grey matter active, so I`m currently dabbling in VBA, PHP, javascript, HTML, etc., etc. When I`m able, I like to help people in whatever way I can. ©
