Been a computer geek since they had vacuum tubes. Computers have been a blur since 1968. They will always change and upgrade. I have worked on most generations with the exception of the Josephine Junction systems.
Computers come and go, now I am mostly using Widows on two machines that I run SETI on. As I live way out there, about 20 miles from nowhere, I use the satellite for my internet connections.
I have always been interested in radio. I got my ham license back in the 1970s. Also sailed as a Radio Officer on a merchant marine vessel. (We hauled cars.) But lots of electronics on board ships.
