ABOUT THIS SITE -

I would like for this site to be about communications and the sharing of information in the computer, technology and Internet environments. I hope some might find something here that is informative, enjoyable, and useful. If so, then I have reached my goal. Please don’t hesitate to give me you opinions and feedback. I’m always open to learning and not afraid to admit I’m wrong.

ABOUT ME -

I’ve been computing for a long time. My first computer was a Sinclair 100 with a softtouch pressure keyboard and 32kb of memory. From their I moved to an Atari 800 with 64k memory, a floppy drive, and a 300 baud modem. I use to visit local BBS systems and when downloading text files I could read the text faster then it was downloading! I don’t miss those days.

I’ve used almost every version of the Windows operation system at one time or the other but for the last several years my personal computer perference has been Apple’s Mac OS X. I recently have been looking at Ubuntu/Linux and have been impressed with the strides it has made.

I’ve lived in North Carolina, Vermont, Maryland, Italy, and England during the last 30+ years. I currently reside in North Carolina.

My two main occupations have consisted of 11 years in the USAF as a Communications Intelligence Analyst and 17 years in IT as a Programmer, Analyst, and Manager. During my wondering years I also worked as a cook and a motorcycle mechanic.

I have two children and two step-children (2 boys & 2 girls), all of them grown, and a wonderful wife who keeps me sane and mostly focused and on track. I don’t give them as much time as I should and I’m grateful they forgive me for it.

I enjoy travelling, reading, digital photography and of course computers.

Thanks for stopping by,

Earl
