Bio:	I started programming on an IBM mainframe back in about 1980.. doing work on a CAD system called ASI PRANCE. Until that time I was a PCB designer, but during training I found that I really found something that interested me. I moved from the mainframe environment to UNIX of VAX's back in the mid 80's - good old BSD 2.0. I went back to school to first study UNIX programming the Pascal ... then on to C, C++, and advanced data structures. Eventually I took work at Cisco Systems, where I designed - created their manufacturing output program for PCB's. That was written entirely in PERL (which is my first love). I retired 3 years ago and promptly got bored. Since I never finished my major I thought I'd go and do that. Unfortunately it had been too long for any of my previous college credits to transfer, so I find myself repeating classes. This isn't a bad thing - it's been a long time since I did C++ (~ 1993), so it's a good review.
