Been working and studing computer systems for 8 years.  focus mainly on the microsoft/pc compatible area.  recently dabbing into unix, and gaining understanding of that area.  Started off in early 80's with my VIC 20 and graduated to a C-64, where upon when they broke we got a new one.  so have been programming, tinkering, and learning for quite some time now.  presently focused on html, java, perl, awk, and c.
