I've been programming computers since I was 12(1976/77) Started on TRS-80's, Commodore PET, & Apple II, also had Access to a mainframe at University of Minnesota. In college started working with VAX mainframe & IBM PC's. I've programmed 6502 assembly, 8088 assembly, COBOL, FORTRAN, BASIC(many variations), C, C++, PASCAL.
I Still have my original Apple IIe which was upgraded to //e enhanced.

I wrote a program for processing message traffic for the US Navy Submarines in 1994 that is still in use today. (should have sold it, I had no idea it would last this long (I do maintain the copyright though))

I have an Apple //e, w/AE Serial Pro, Ramworks III w/1M & RGB option, Apple SCSI rev C, 3.5in Drives & ASCO/LIRON controller, Mouse, SCSI ZIP250, And the coupdegrace Transwarp w/W65C802. Used so much power that I had to replace the Apple power supply after awhile w/Applied Engineering power supply. Have Uthernet card & CFFA card in a IIGS. I also have an EPROM burner that I used to change the ROM's a little. Altered Video Rom Character set. An AST Sprint Ramdisk. And a Sprite II card (never had a use for but looked cool at the time, one of those technologies that never really developed).

I Want to add an RGB LCD screen to the mix, need a scan converter or something to adapt the 15.75KHz to something atleast twice that.


Computers, Electronics, Robotics, High Energy Physics, Magnetics, Astromomy, Photography, and now Microcontrollers.

Tesla & Einstein are my heroes.
