Both my parents are gone now.. my mom just last year... so I understand your

I wish I could say something that would encourage you, Dustin. Perhaps, the
future will be better than you could have ever imagined. That's what
happened for me, anyway.

I'm a bit of a geek... and even more unusual a female geek.. sort of LOL
.... try wrapping your mind around that bit of irony ... only I am better at
the creative stuff .. LOL I think the notion that geeks (or computer
people) have an antisocial bent is a misinterpretation of the reality that
most of us are independent, practical, creative, artistic people, and also
good at math.. Are you good at math?? Creative people don't have the
same need for alot of social acceptance... not that creative people don't
enjoy it ... we just don't depend on it like some other personality types
might. FWIW.. you don't seem antisocial to me at all.. just normal. LOL

Actually, the older a person gets, the more comfortable it gets being true
to ones self. You are 33? It gets better .......

I cannot answer for him/her.

However, *if* there actually was a 'Law of Averages' is would say,
categorically, that *some* of those appointed as MVP's *must* be BAD guys.

Whilst I cannot prove same to you, Robear Dyer (PA Bear) has lied, many
times, about me having been banned by one or more ISP's. I have never,
ever, been banned by any ISP. As he has lied about that, he may well not
be the Mr Nice Guy some folk think he is.

I was once seconded to an audit team to carry out a routine check of the
Chief Petty Officers Mess Fund at RNAS Culdrose, Helston, Cornwall. The
supervising officer of that fund, a professional 'Suppy and Secretariat'
officer was subjected to my 'outside the box' questioning.

Long story short - he ended up in prison for embezzlement and was
dismissed from the Royal Navy. I got a pat on the back!

Every question I ask has a reason to it, not always obvious to the
recipient. It soon becomes obvious to me who is honest and
straight-forward and those who are less so!

Very much hands on, in fact I ruled the computer room (or thought I
did). An early BOFH, but not so much of a *******! I soon taught
myself Fortran and assembler and tested it on the machines during
idle-time. Then moved in to programming full-time and learnt a few
more languages on the way. These days, I'm mostly into C and x86 asm.

Oops... sorry. My dad's about 86 now and increasingly dependent on me
for things like basic shopping.

Computers were unheard of in school when I was a kid. It was only
after some years of work that I got into them and never looked back.

Well said, Jenn. I can stay at home for days at a time and be totally
wrapped up in what I'm doing, computing-wise. Fortunately, I have a
circle of friends and acquaintances at my local pub and make a point
of going there for lunch a few times a week to keep in touch with the
real world!

That's very true. Overall, I'm much more content and settled than I
was in my 30's.

Punch cards using FORTRAN with WatIV and WatV.

Nothing like the feeling of a stack of cards clutched in your hand as
the squeezed middle explodes and scatters upward on your way to the
batch tray. Next two hours on a wide expanse of floor reordering them -
"Here's 0001, now here's 0693, now 0428, oh yeah 0002 after 0001, here's
1867..."

Once you have the concept of how computer languages work, you can be
better equipped to choose the right one for a project. I started out
with a library book on machine language programming, and was intrigued
by how assembler mnemonics made it easier to program. Spaghetti coding
in BASIC led me to the more structured languages.

....then, due to a small 'inciting to riot' conviction, shifted into
electronics technician (ET) instead of data systems technician (DS) upon
joining the US Navy. That gave me some hardware experience to go along
with the rest. All-in-all, I haven't done much programming.
