A proud husband, a daddy of three daughters and grandpa of seven litte ones!  I was recently disabled after being in business for 30 years in the commercial and residential real estate development industry.  I've done quite a bit in Florida and I've enjoyed great success.  Unfortunately, in 1998 I was forced to retire because of a back injury and lost it all.  I've now started to explore business opportunities on the Internet... I better hurry!  I might just write a book, or a 'How-To' guide related to architectural design, construction techniques, or maybe something like 'How to act Stupid for Dummies'  ... I bought my first computer in 1979!  It was actually called a "Tandy" TRS-80.  It consisted of a regular 'Radio Shack' Audio Cassete Player/Recorder, a 13' Monochrome Monitor a few wires and a little book called 'Basic' .. Imagine that?  It had no memory, no RAM, not even a desktop or a mini-tower.. not even built-in programs or games! I actually created a simple program (on a cassete) that would do construction cost breakdowns for houses and it actually worked!  It took eight weeks... oh, by the way, this 'computer' cost nearly $2,000 and should be in the Smithsonian by now!  I've bought dozens of computers since that day!  Like you, I lost a fortune every time, because by the following week or month, it was already an antique! I love writing and reading and a good movie! I also appreciate good, sound, advice; either giving it or receiving it.  The Lord is also 'central' in my life. His Eternal Love and Abundant Grace soothe me yet they are my driving force!  My motto is; "all things work together for good..."  I am glad to be a part of ExpertsExchange (EE)... Who knows? Maybe I can help one of you real soon!  Thanks for the soapbox!
