I am born in 1961, experimented with electronics in my teenage years, taught myself programming in highschool (mainly Lisp an FORTRAN), went to study computer science (playing with Acorn Atom, Atari 8-bit, and Atari ST), working at the university (buying first PC, installing Slackware), working at various companies (mainly in C++, but also some VB, various platforms from VAX-VMS, Solaris, to Windows).
